[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1496712] [NEW] no bootable device after qemu-img convert parallels windows 2012 r2 to raw/qcow2

[Betschart]

Public bug reported:

Hello
We have converted a parallels windows 2012 R2 image with the command
qemu-img convert -p -f parallels -O raw 
./TestLibvirt.pvm/TestLibvirtMig-0.hdd/TestLibvirtMig-0.hdd.0.hds 
/var/lib/libvirt/images/testlibvirtmig.raw

Afterthat we have created a new entry with virtual machine manager and
used this raw-hdd file as "import existing disk image"

Then we booted this virtual server and we got the error 
"Booting from Hard Disk"
"no Bootable device"

Test 1: we also tried to "overwrite" the windows server drive
1. Create a vm with windows 2012 r2 (W2K12R2) with virtual machine manager. 
Which runs good
2. Then we mounted in the command line the "no bootable device" server  as 
source (raw image)
    mount /ev/mapper/loop0p4 /mnt/source
3. Then we mounted the new created (W2K12R2) as target (raw image)
    mount /ev/mapper/loop1p2 /mnt/target
4. with the copy command we have overwritten all files on the windows drive
    rsync -av --delete /mnt/source/* /mnt/target/ 
5. reboot the server and we have a blue screen and it tells me something 
prl_strg.sys 
     "your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart ...... If you'd like to 
know more, you can search online later for this error: 
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED(prl_strg.sys)

Test 2: We also did a qemu-img convert from an ubuntu 14.04 disk and
this works perfect.

Thanks a lot
Moritz
