The answer you seek is on page 14 of the VMware vCenter 4.2 Installation and Administration Guide at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsp_vcc_42_admin_guide.pdf
Notice how it states:
-
Because vCenter Converter 4.2 does not support cold cloning, you must use the Boot CD of an earlier vCenter Converter edition. The features supported on the Boot CD depend on the product version you choose.
VMware vCenter Converter 4.1.x edition is not a free software product.
Procedure
To obtain a Boot CD, go to the VMware Download Web site and download vCenter Converter 4.1.x installation.
Extract the Boot CD .iso file from the installation package.
Write the Boot CD .iso file on a CD.
FYI......vCenter Converter 4.1.x is shipped witholder vCenter Server versions, such as 4.0 Update 2.
You should be able to find the needed file by going to http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/vc40u2/ZHcqYmRoZXRiZHR3ZA== and clicking on the "show details" link in the "Components" section.
Hope this helps.
