Using VMWare Converter Standalone Version 5.5.3 build 2183569 - The destination does not support EFI Firmware

Hello,

I've used the VMWare converter standalone on older PC's with out an issue.

When I tried to use this on a Lenovo Laptop running Windows 8.1 I get the following error when I select the destination.

The destination does not support EFI firmware.

I've selected destination type as VMWorkstation or other VMWare virtual machine.

I've selected the VMWare product as VMWare workstation 7.0.x

I'm not sure what I am doing incorrectly.

I've google for this but I don't seem to be getting any further forward with this one.

Can any one help?

Thank you.

Seamus
