I have some open-source Xen images (.img), that I want to convert to VirtualBox.

Both the methods I tried (convertfromraw or to .xva via xva.py then to ova via XenConvert) produce FATAL: Fatal: No bootable medium found!.

Any idea what the most reliable method is for performing this conversion?

Thanks in advance.

Use the VirtualBox command line utility - vboxmanage.

vboxmanage clonehd XEN_disk.img VIRTUALBOX_disk.vdi

or

vboxmanage internalcommands converthd XEN_disk.img VIRTUALBOX_disk.vdi

or

Cheat. Use clonezilla or any cloning method.

Boot to clonezilla on the xen virtual client and virtualbox client using a clonezilla iso. Clone from xen to virtualbox.
