Hello
I tried to convert from a running Win XP and get the Status: "FAILED: A system error encounteres during an operation".
I made a chkdsk /f on the targed and on the soure disk. Both are ok!
I tried to minimalize my system with msconfig.exe (i choosed diagnostic mode and i only activated the vmware services and made a reboot)
the conversion process unfortunately didn' t changed.

My source system has following memory:
61 GB used Memory
87,5 GB free memory
My external disk (connected via usb) has following memory:
90,6GB used memory
142 GB free memory
My question is, why are 142 GB free memory mot enough for generating a virtual machine of 61GB.
Do i need factor3 more mem than the source for example?
I checked the source and targed disk for bad blocks, both disks are ok!
Can anybody give me a hint?
Thanks ... lukas*
