Error: Unable to clone volume 'C:'.

I'm using the VMware Converter version 5.0.0.
I am importing "this physical machine" with Windows 7 Pro
Gives an error "Warning: Unable to read the block at offset '22 191 038 464 'on volume' C: '."

I would appreciate any help.
thanks

run this command as admin in a cmd

chkdsk /f /x /r c:

chkdsk will tell that it needs to reboot to run this - so reboot.
At next startup the filesystem will be checked and if you are lucky it will be repaired.
then try Converter again

Thanks for the reply.
I ran the command "chkdsk / f / x / rc:", file corrected several errors, but the next attempt gave the same error: "Warning: Unable to read the block at offset '22 191 038 464 'on volume' C: '
Any other suggestions
thanks

Next I would do a coldclone with a Linux LiveCD using ddrescue
