Converter XP failed

[GCADAN]

Hello VM fans,

I have been trying to converter a XP computer to virtual machine. The progress failed at 97%.

Attached is the converter log, anyone could help to check and advise?

Thanks.

It seems to be issue with boot.ini file, check this file for partition information and delete the extra partion info.

Vmount library: Error 38434 while while reading from device

Getting extended OS info by parsing boot.ini and/or analyzing the registry failed

you tried do a configure using a standalone version ?

If you look on your ESX server, you will see that the virtual machine

has already been created. Have you tried to turn on the virtual

machine? what happens? blue screen?

boot.ini file is pointing to the wrong partition.<!-- BEGIN attachments -->

This PC is an old IBM model and has one 2.5G concealed partition. This partition and XP OS partition are on the same disk.

I have checked the boot.ini like follow, seems the concealed partition is not in

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

And I did not choose the concealed partition when doing p2v.

Any steps should I do?

Yes I use a standalone version.

The virtual machine has been created, but I can not power on it, it will have blue screen and reboot again and again.

How can I identify if boot.ini point to the wrong partition? This computer has another partition which is for recovery, but I'm not sure if converter will also converter this partition?
