I want to virtualize a physical machine and I used Disk2Vhd to convert the Hard drive to a .vhd file.
My issue is that when I attach this vhd in Hyper-V, and try to install
`"Integration Services", I get the message "HAL Upgrade Required"`,
and after sometime,
`"You must restart your system before Hyper-V Integration services can be installed. Do you want to restart now"`
The problem is that these steps get repeated again and again and I am never able to install the Integration services.
Addition Info:
```
Server: Windows 2008 R2
Guest Machine: Windows 2003 Server with SP2
```
Any suggestions??
Thanks

After going through forums.. finally found the solution. (the link is [here](http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverhyperv/thread/7ea051c7-ac94-4f34-b6f6-8d75f4225173) )
When you start the VM under Hyper-V, you get a Multi-Boot option,
```
Disk2Vhd Windows Server 2003 Standard
Windows Server 2003 Standard
```
You must boot the system with `Windows Server 2003 Standard` and not with Disk2Vhd one.. Thanks to the guy who found out!!! - I wasted almost a week on this, glad that it's finally working
