Hello Community!
I try to convert a local System to a virtual one using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone.
Should be an easy job. But I fail.
I get:
Warning: Unable to update drive letters for the destination volume layout.
Error: An error occurred during reconfiguration.
And then FAILED: A general system error occurred:
Platform-specific error 2.
I already studied the log files – but no success.
Can somebody help me to fix this problem?
Thanks
Erhard
The logs are attached for your analysis
These logs are not useful because they are for GUI. Please attach worker's log found in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs
Hi There,
Did you unistall the unwanted driver from converted Vm and installed the VMtools?
Please keep posted the status.
Thanks
I see two important errors:
1016 which means "An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed unrecoverably. The registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the registry." and
1450 which means "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service."
Your option is to try to 'Reconfig' only your target VM and try to boot it.
Otherwise you need to check your source system for disk errors, for example with 'chkdsk /B'.

Hi PECEH!
Well, I have performed chckdsk and will try again
Can you please provide me some more details:
I'm not experienced with VW stuff.
Thanks

On Source server open registry > go to HKLM>System>MountedDevices. Export 'MountedDevices' and restore it on destination VM then reboot once.
This is *not* recommended! The VM could not boot if you restore the MountedDevices!
Instead of choose 'Convert machine', choose the 'Configure machine' and point your newly created VM.

Hi all!
Thanks for all your hints.
I tried a lot. But no success till now.
Always the same ugly error messages.
Starting machine. Always Crashes bluescreen evwn in save mode etc etc. Really frustrating.
The bluescreen disappears rather quickly. I can’t catch it
After some days off I will try again or give anopther platform a chance to vitualize my machine.
Best regards
Erhard
