Importer beta fails

Hello,

I just tried to import a Parallels VM (W2K - SP4) and it doesn't matter, which hd-option I choose, at the end of the import process I get the message:

"Header information of the virtual harddisk are damaged. .....

A screenshot of the original message (in german) is attached.

Any ideas?

Regards

Hmm. I haven't seen a report of this issue before. What version of Parallels are you using, and is the virtual machine running well under Parallels itself?

The error message means that VMware Importer is having trouble following the layout of the Parallels disk, and it is unable to read it sufficiently well to copy it into a VMware .vmdk disk format.
