What OS is your VPC VM? What OS is Converter running on?

It could be a number of things.

1) do you have mirrored volumes in the VM? If so, you may need to break them.

2) do you have anything unusual in the boot.ini? Are there other partions there? You may need to modify the boot.ini.

3) is the VM powered on? If so, you will need to select "physical machine" and connect to the VM.

4) there may be an incompatibility with W2K3 R2. Try running Converter from another instance of W2K3 R2 instead of XP SP2.
