  • Do you have any FAT volumes on the existing server? have you tried doing a cold-conversion with the machine powered off?

  • hi Chopper3, the system is based on usual NTFS system. I have note tried the cold-conversion. Appreciate if you could guide me on that Jun 9, 2014 at 5:28
  • I trust you are using the vCenter Converter Standalone for the conversion? If so, are you using the latest version? Have you seen this vmWare KB article on this topic?
