Hi,

What are the problems that you are facing during the image conversion?
As a first step, I would suggest you to somehow test that the
installation is working, using a generic image.

If the instance fails to start, there must be some error messages, which
will help us. Please give me some pointers, so that I can help.

With XenAPI, you can use Raw and VHD and AMI type images. Please note,
that in order to use three part images, you need to make a small
modification in Dom0, described here:

Cheers,
Mate
