vConvert on an EFI based I7 IBM Server not working

[djtestlabs]

Is it possible to vconvert an IBM 3550 M2 which has an EFI based firmware running Windows server 2008, it has an EFI boot partition, when I try create a virtual machine from this physical machine using vconvert 4.0.1 to my ESX Server or to a VMServer 2.0 file type I get the Fatal Error Occured. The most common reason is loss of connectivity......... message which I understand could mean anything.

My guess is the fact the the EFI x64 Firmware Server shows as having an UEFI partition as well as a Boot Partition under Disk Manager

Has anyone successfully P 2 V'd a latest generation EFI based server running Windows Server 2008, if so HOW!

thank in Advance for any responses

Same problem here. Trying to convert Windows 2008 Server SP2 into a virtual machine using vCenter Converter 4...

Also on a IBM 3550 M2 server.

Any help would really be appreciated!

Thank you

Has there been any update to this problem.  We are having the same problem here!!

Looks like this is a result of the boot disk being formatted as GPT - also looks like theres no way around it.
