Multiple Drive Physical Conversion

When using Converter to migrate a physical Windows 2003 Server with multiple drives (C:, D:, E:, and F:), will all drives end up in the same datastore file or will a separate datastore file be created for each drive?

Thanx,

Garth

Hello.

With the latest versions of Converter, you can choose how to layout the volumes/disks.

Good Luck!

As you run through the convertor wizard, there is an option which allows you to resize each drive or maintain it size and then a tick box with the option, create a separate disk for each drive or words to that effect.

Hope this helps
