Hi,
I am seeing a failure of a P2V at 98% with vCenter Converter 5.0.0 on a Windows 7 machine. I have extensively searched the discussion archives and am not able to determine the source of my failure.
The error:
FAILED: Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.
Error: An error occurred during reconfiguration.
I have tried several suggestions from the archives such as; running as administrator, disabled real-time virus scanning, disabled other processes via msconfig, and am running Converter from the same physical machine I am trying to convert. The disk has three partitions, a restore/backup, C:, and 😧 and during the converter wizard I only select the C and D partitions.
Here is an excerpt from the converter-gui.log file (full logs attached)

Thank you and I greatly appreciate the help!

Try to reconfig your destination machine as a separate task. HTH
I recently did a P2V of a windows 2003 server, it also failed at 98% with the same error ... Though the machine was created and booted up fine. So I did some manual configuration and that was that. Did it create the machine for you?
Something is not standad with your disk configuration porbably.
But if the destination machine starts all is fine. I hope.
Yeah maybe ... Though he did the conversion of it perfectly, it shrunk the D-drive and grew the C-drive without an issue, I didn't look into the error since the machine booted up fine
