Hi !
I am having trouble converting a physical Windows 2000 Server with SQL 2000 to a virtual machine.
When starting the converter it will hang at 1% Completion, the target disk drive is is busy an the vmdk files are growing in size - but after a day or two the operation stops with the following error :

Checking the disk now, shows that the target disk drive only contains some kb of data.
Is this a problem with the external Disk Drive I'm using ? (usb-to-sata2 external HardDiskDrive), perhaps a problem with a running SQL Server on the Source Machine ?
Any hints appreciated
