Windows 2000 pro computer

have tried to use Enterprise Converter to virtualize a Windows2000 professional computer with no luck. Have heard that if we Ghost it that I can use the Ghost Image to create a VM. If that is so....how do I do that?

Hi, when you say no luck, what was the problem?

Thanks,

Hi and thanks for the quick reply.

The Converter agent didn't install on the source. We stopped all the backup and antivirus services and are using remote conversion methods.

did you try to install the converter agent manually onto the W2K box? Use the custom install for converter and see if that helps. Sometimes a reboot just before install will help as well.

Thanks Troy

No, we didn't try a manual install. Have never done that before. I'll download the procedures and try it
