Re: "Error Parsing file" Error 18 [32] when converting VHDX to Raw using CLI

Hi rleonar,

Re: Disk file system showing as RAW

Hi chell,
From the logs you have provided before, I see that LSFS drive was created in 11818 StarWind build.
Did you roll-back to 11456 build and created drive there?
Also, I am waiting for logs.
