Error: event.ReconfigurationFailedEvent.summary Windows Server 2003

[BTRIDON]

Hello everyone,

My customer have a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition who failed at P2V conversion around 97-98%.

The error on GUI is : Error: event.ReconfigurationFailedEvent.summary

So, I found a discussion on the vmware communities (link below) and this person was the same problem as mine. So I tried a lot of modifications on my server but nothing works.

FAILED: Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.

I've attached my exported logs.

Thanks in advance for your help

The reconfiguration fails with error 11: "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format." while reading registry files.

You can try to reconfig only target VM.

Also I see the "boot\bcd" on your system volume but this is not valid for Windows 2003, so delete this folder and try again conversion.

So, i must to delete the c:\boot folder and boot.ini file ?

Do not delete boot.ini! It's your boot configuration for Windows.

You should delete \boot folder or as alternative just rename it to \boot.bak for example.

Gooooooood

I rename the c:\boot folder to "boot.bak" and i retried to do a conversion.

It's all good now, my convert is completed.
