I purchased Fusion with the specific purpose of cloning a PC to run on my Mac. I tried running Converter on the PC (Thinkpad, 34GB HD, 1GB DRAM, XP sp2). I saved the VM to an external USB drive (80GB iPod). Every time I tried to run converter, it reached to 99% and hung, eventually giving the "(application not responding)" message in the title bar. Then nothing on PC would work and the only option was to hard restart. I attempted to open the resulting files with Fusion but got the message "Image file not locked." If I try to configure the file Converter hangs when it gets to 86%, same as before requiring a hard restart, and I get the same error message if I try to open it with Fusion. I was wondering if anyone had any input on how to get this thing working.
I can't run Converter from the Mac because even if I boot into Windows using Bootcamp, Converter will not see the other PC (I can see it as a shared volume from Windows but Converter will not connect). I can not save the VM to the Mac for the same reason - I can log on with Windows but Converter will not recognize it. I can save the VM file to a portable drive but as noted above, Converter hangs and brings down the whole OS.
This really demonstrates why my main OS is Mac in the first place.
