Import Error!

Hi,

I am getting this error when trying to import a Live State Recovery Image into VMware Server.

W 2006/06/06 15:20:42 TranslateError: now err -2147213288: The Virtual Machine Importer could not detect the boot disk in the source image. This may happen if the source image was a backup of a Windows dynamic disk.

E 2006/06/06 15:20:42 FromSourceVM error: The Virtual Machine Importer could not detect the boot disk in the source image. This may happen if the source image was a backup of a Windows dynamic disk.

I have managed to import many LSR images into VMWare Server without error but this one is really giving me grief.

ANy ideas will be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Jamie

At this time, VMImporter 2 does not support importing LSR images of machines which contain dynamic disks.

Can you post the VM and the full log so we can take a look?

Thanks.
