Hi

I have been trying to virtualise a Windows XP systems disk, because it has an important piece of software on it and the relevant data associated with it. It does not warrant its own computer.

The Host Drive is NTFS 1863.01 GB I am creating the VHD(x) on a separate drive 3726.01GB (I have tried it formatted as NTFS and xFAT and get the same error.

The Steps I take in the configuration are:

1) P2V
2) Disk Volume & Physical Disk (again both the same error)
3) For the Physical Disk I select the drive\Volume containing the 1836.01 (Windows XP) drive
4) The location - I select as a local file
5) Image format - VHD\VHDX
6) I have tried VHD and VHDx but both as a Pre-Allocated Image (due to the limitations of XP's Dive limitation to 2TB) - I have also ticked and un-ticked the repair mode box at the bottom..
7) Destination File - I select the disk containing the 3726.01 volume and name the VHD(x) file name.
8) I then select convert

It goes ahead and created the fixed sized VHD(x) file and appear to then start populating it, the software gets to 100% and then attempts to read the the file again when it then flags an error, below is the log file contents:

Hi!

I got the same error message. I did an surface test with HDsentinel on the hard disk to be virtualized. It found bad sectors in the last few hundred megabytes of the disk.

I resized it with a partition management program so that the faulty part (plus a little more) is unallocated. After that StarWind was able to do the conversion.
