Hey All,

I'm using converter to migrate a VM from one ESX server to another one (no Virtual infrastructure stuff). I did it once, and it worked fine. I did it anothr time and it failed:

This machine was originally installed as VMWare server and then migrated to ESX using converter. Then again, the other machine I did the same migration was created in the same way and it moved fine and both had 3 disks! It is working fine on the source ESX server, and there is nothing obviously odd in the vmx file on the ESX server.

VM OS is Win2k3 SP2 32-bit.

Any ideas anyone? Thanks!
