VMware Converter P2V failed

[MikaelKorsgaard]

Hi all,

Have used VMware Converter for some machines with fine results.

Some servers sadly fails with: "Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible" at 97% completed.

It should be current VMware Converter build, the version I uses is: 6.2.0 build 8466193

I'm using the setup where i've selected the possibility to synchronize after the first P2V have run.

The weird thing is, if I boot the VM that is converted it boots fine and looks okay!

The problem is I cannot select the "Synchronize" on the job after it fails, so need to rerun the whole P2V again.

Any throught/help?

yeah i just tried to do a "bootrec /rebuildbcd" from a Windows boot repair cmd. This fixes the bcd record - see attached snip.

Unfortunattly i cant do a bootrec from a running windows OS, so i guess the only way is to do a manual edit with bcdedit from OS.

I will try to change and do a conversion.

Thank you very much for all your help.

Hint: BCD System Store Settings for UEFI | Microsoft Docs  look to 'device settings' seems is your case.

Please share the final result.

Thanks,

I actually found to use "bcdboot c:\windows" - it rebuilds the bcd in the Live OS. It seems to add three stores though (bootmgr, default, current). I just delete the ekstra one (default) with bcdedit - Or else i will get a boot menu. non the less it fixes bootmgr to have the right information, being the key thing.

The conversion is running now, so fingers crossed - i'll update you guys.

UPDATE: The conversion is 100% complete now thanks to changes done as per the above.

Thanks
