Unable to validate the destination. Error: vmodl.fault.SystemError

Hi,

i am trying to convert Windows XP (32bit) and Windows 2000 in Virtualization.

ESX host where i want to migrate the future vm, is ESXi 5.5.

when i'm specifying Destination i'm receiving the error message:

Unable to validate the destination: Error: vmodl.fault.SystemError

Any ideas?

No, I wouldn't watch the video. Check out the itemized list below of the best practices and troubleshooting.  Have a look at the Converter logs and post back what you find.
