Can not convert to esxi host.

I have a programmer that typically works in Workstation Pro developing a server on his local machine.  When the server is ready I typically convert the server over to the esxi host.  Currently we have a server that I can not convert, not copy to another directory on the host computer running workstation pro.

Is there anything I can do to get this copied.  In the past when this happened we had to recreate the server, but this is the second time and not sure of there is a work around.  Some files will copy but 2 or 3 will not.  Can they be recreated or left behind?

Which files do you have issues with? If these files are .vmdk files, I'm afraid you'll need to find a way to get access to the files.

Did you - after backing up the system - check the HDD(s) for logical/physical errors using e.g. the chkdsk command line utility?
