How does the source system look like. Which OS is being used and how do the partitions on the disk look like? Some vendors have OEM/service partitions on the disk which may cause issues. If you cannot see anything like this, please create and post (attach) the converter log bundle.

Did the VM arrive on the target ?
What happens if you boot it ?

Hi,

While doing P2V are you changing the disk size?

I am getting the same error and have not found a solution. I am using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone  4.3.0 Trying to P2V Windows 2003 Sp2 server with one hard disk partitioned into 3 logical drives all dynamic. Nothing abnormal in the boot.ini file.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Standard" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect
FAILED: unable to reconfigure the destination virtual machine. Error: An error occurred during reconfiguration.

Any help would be great. Thanks

post the vmx-file of that VM

Hmmm, dynamic disks are not *fully* supported from the converter.... if they are single disks, could you try convert them to basic disks before conversion? Or if the conversion finished (98%) you could try only to reconfig the result VM, try to boot and see what's will happens.

My problem has been resolved. It was an issue with the dynamic disks
