VMwARE Vcenter Converter Standalone 5.5.1 : P2V Windows 8 Pro : unable to obtain hardware information

Hi,

i try to P2V a windows 8 Pro 32 bits with VMwARE Vcenter Converter Standalone 5.5.1.

I applied each required described in the KB2059581 but noway,

every time the same message.

I saw that in customise setup we need to affect http port.

On my physical machine iis is running and use the port 80

is it a problem to obtain hardware information ? do i need to change the port of VMwARE Vcenter Converter Standalone or iis ?


the hard disk is a SSD 64 Go on Dell Latitude Windows 8 Pro 32 bits

I join the log

thanks for you help

Seems all your disks are USB or similar... Could you share your DiskManager configuration?

Ouch... you can not convert this with the Converter because of original design where removable hard disks are skipped.

You can try a conversion with other tool but keep in mind that there is no guarantee that tablet version of Windows will start on virtual hardware.
