P2V using VMware Converter to migrate a NT4

Hi,

I am writing because i am running into some issues when i try to convert a NT4 Physical host to a virtual machine using VMware Converter. VMware converter tells me that i need the following installed on the physical host.

SP6i386.exe

WindowsNT4Server-KB885835-x86-ENU.exe

However SP6 is installed however in the revised version. How do one go about downgrading the NT host or "pursuade" the VMware converter that SP6 is in fact installed?

It is not possible at least to my knowledge to get a hold of SP6 for Windows NT, Microsoft only has the Revised SP6 on their website

Thanks in advance

Regards

Bastian

You have many tools to take image backup of your server, Better you take cold image backup of your server like using Ghost or Acronis from that you can create VM using the P2V. Or you can take disk dump in another HDD and you can try with that.
