    Trying to convert a Dell physical server ( 2012 server ) to a VM using version 6 converter and it gets to 98% and fails with FAILED: Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.

    It does not delete the VM after failing, attached is the export bundle.

    The error happens during reconfig phase:

    2015-11-03T14:24:55.049-05:00 error vmware-converter-agent[10272] [Originator@6876 sub=task-6] [BaseDiskSetComputer::AnalyzeErrorAndThrow] Error occurred when opening disk set, MNTAPI_ERROR = 176 MNTAPI errorType = 0, errorCode = 11

    and error 11 means: "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format." and probably this error is about registry hive format.

    You can try to "configure" only new VM with Converter

    Ended up using bcdedit to fix this. Boot and default were set to C:. The boot drive on the VM was showing as F:. Changed bcdedit to F: for boot, default and opdefault and now it boots fine.
