P2V of local machine - Error unable to obtain hardware information

[kieron85]

Hi

I'm getting an error using vCenter Converter Standalone 5.1.0. I'm trying to convert a local machine to an image on an external hard drive. The local machine is Windows 7.

The error I'm getting is Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine.

These are the steps I'm following

select source type: Powered-on machine

specify the powered-on machine: This local machine

thanks for any help

Hi

I disabled the K drive and it worked for me.

Thanks for your help.
