Do you have any FAT volumes on the existing server? have you tried doing a cold-conversion with the machine powered off?– Chopper3Jun 8, 2014 at 14:03

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– monketrip28Jun 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?– the-wabbitJun 18, 2014 at 8:47

Thank you for all your posts.... The problem was the USB Devices.... as soon as I removed them it worked flawlessly... again.. as a side not I like to add that it will not harm if you put your VSS on manual if its on automatic.... that should do the trick!.....
