2003 Server Conversion Failing

I am trying to convert a 2003 server on my esxi 4.0 host to move the vm to a new datastore and change the hard drive configuration to thin. It keeps failing with this error. Failed: A general system error occured: TaskInfo indicates error but no exception is specified. Here is my log file. Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi again,

Have you tried to run it with the VM powered on and runnning a cold clone?

Have checked your log files but there is no valuable information on it.

Are you running converter stand alone of from a vCenter? Is the virtual machine powered on or are you running a cold clone?

Stand alone converter. The virtual machine is powered off.

is your storage an NFS?, do you have space left on the volume?
