      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a W98 PC that is functional and needed in a stand-alone environment, not networked. The hardware is becoming unreliable and takes up space, want to convert it to a VM. Converter will not install on W98 and so far I have been unsuccessful trying to install the agent from a remote machine.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I can remove the SATA hard drive and connect it USB to a W11 PC running Standalone Converter (and also using VMware Workstation to run another VM). But Converter will not work on a dark OS.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a way to make an image of that W98 drive that I can then convert to a VMDK?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mike&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Maybe Starwind V2V Converter can help you. I have done a Windows Server 2000 with a very very very old vCenter Standalone Converter to vSphere 5.5.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-v2v-converter" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-v2v-converter&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
