Converter stuck at 1 %

Hello,

I get stuck with Vmware Converter at 1 % done. It is trying to make snapshot of the volumes.

I am converting physical machine

Blade 460c g6 with two disk sized 20 GB and 200 GB (SAN)

destination is ESX 3.5

The machine is in almost idle state, but it has MS Sql server installed. I haven't shut it down.

I have waited for two hours before canceling. And even the cancel was stuck until I killed the converter process on source machine.

I saw similar thread where user was stuck at 2 % but didn't find it helping because he already got past the snapshot.

Log-file from source.

Just to update on this. I took down the SQL server and retried the convert. I still get similart result. It doesn't go past the snapshot stage. I had it try last night so it had good time to run.

Everything stops at

VolumeBasedCloneTask::CollectVolumeIdsToSnapshot: we will try to  snapshot volume  \WindowsBitmapDriverVolumeId=[BA-55-7B-2D-00-00-10-00-00-00-00-00]

I ran checkdisk on it and no problems were found.
