"An error occurred during the conversion: 'File-level volume clone error failed with sourcevolume id \WindowsBitmapDriverVolumeId=[4B-3A-31-E9-00-00-10-00-00-00-00-00] and target volume id ;4:3139.0000010000000000. Error code: 2'"
In converter-worker.xml file in section plugins/converter_agent add tag <pcopyLogVerbose>true</pcopyLogVerbose> then restart the worker service. As result you'll see all files copied and which file gives the error 2 i.e. "The system cannot find the file specified."
Most probably you'll need to perform "chkdsk /B " on the disk with problem(s).

Looks as though the error has changed. If I'm not mistaken it now is....
"

HERE IS THE ACTUAL LOG:

Thanks in advance!
I've done a " chkdsk" for my source and target drive. I've defrag'd them as well.
It seems to always happen at 27% - 29%
It's not trivial to find real error, could you upload or mail me log-bundle?
What happens with verbose logging?
Here is the entire log:
{ I DELETED THE LOG BECAUSE IT WASN'T THE RIGHT LOG }
GUI logs are not relevant here, find and check converter-worker.log in "%ProgramData%\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs" folder.
The converter-worker.xml where I've advice to add tag is one folder up.
HTH
Please don't post log as messages, it is useless.
Sorry I just don't know another way of posting the log file. Where would you like me to upload it?
I've found the ".log.gz" file
Man this issue has been haunting me for the last four days. All i want is to turn my current Windows machine into a virtual image so I can load it inside a fresh install of Linux.
From the log there is some problem with file \Program Files\WindowsApps\Deleted\Deleted\Microsoft.Office.Sway_17.8471.45091.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe855d6986-8c12-4b1c-8daf-b04033270546\images\offsymb.ttf
You can delete it then convert again.

ANSWER:
Thanks to user "POCEH" for helping me read and find the proper log files in order to diagnose the issue.
After being pointed toward the "offsymb.ttf" file and promptly told to delete it I found out it was impossible to delete even with admin privileges.
After a quick Google search I found this link
What is Offsymb.ttf and How to Fix It? Virus or Safe?
It explains "Sometimes offsymb.ttf and other TTF system errors can be related to problems in the Windows registry. Several programs can share the same offsymb.ttf file, but when these programs are uninstalled or changed, sometimes "orphaned" (invalid) TTF registry entries are left behind."
So I followed their recommendation and downloaded "WinThruster" which cleaned & repaired my windows registry. What it did. I have no idea. Is this software safe, I couldn't say.
This fixed the issue and now I have my P2V copy of my windows OS.
Thanks Again POCEH!
One last thing before we close this thread. Could you show me the exact section of the log file that revealed where the error was encountered?
It would help anyone Googling this same issue, and I would like to learn myself.
Thanks
From your worker log, exact line is
2018-03-20T18:21:13.770-04:00 info vmware-converter-worker[11544] [Originator@6876 sub=Default] [Pcopy] Source file '\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy7\Program Files\WindowsApps\Deleted\Deleted\Microsoft.Office.Sway_17.8471.45091.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe855d6986-8c12-4b1c-8daf-b04033270546\images\offsymb.ttf' could not be copied (2) (couldn't be opened)
I'm glad to hear that conversion succeeded!
