Sophos Virtual Web Appliance

Hello

I am wondering whether anyone can help with this, I have downloaded the VMDK files which run fine on VMWare Workstation.  We have a Hyper V infrastructure in place and we'd like to convert the VMDK files to VHDs.

I know the first issue has been that Hyper V will not boot from anything other than IDE, so using Starwind v2v converter I've converted the files from SCSI to IDE but left them in the VMDK format.

I've tried to get this working on Hyper V but i thought I'd try to get the VM to boot using IDE controllers within VMWare Workstation as then I am confident that the VM would convert successfully over to Hyper V.

The issue is that the VM goes into a recursive boot, I get the Sophos boot screen telling me that the appliance is booting but after about 5 minutes the VM reboots automatically.  I suspect that the VM is unable to install the IDE automatically as this is a locked down distro. 

I've spoke to Sophos and they tell me that they do not support Hyper V, so at the moment I am stumped.  If anyone can help me solve this for me, I'll buy you a pint or two!

Thanks
