StarWind Software

Hello everyone,

Im using the Starwind Converter right now to migrate from VMware to Hyper-V. But with some machines i got the issue that the converted VHD is not readable or damaged, when i try to start up the VM on Hyper-V. Mounting the VHD with Windows Board Tools also fails with the message, that the Drive is not readable or broken.

I converted nine VMs so far and the problem only occurs with three of them. All the others converted just fine and booted up without any issues. I compared the settings of those machines and i can see no real diffences in their configuration. The only thing I noticed is, that the ones having the issue are running on an older VM-Version. So i tried to Upgrade that on one machine and start over with the conversion, but the issue remains. So the only clue i have now is that the affected machines might be older ones.

Can I do anything to these machines in advance of the conversion or afterwards to get them running? I'd be thankful for any hint.

With kind regards
Martin

Hi,

For those few that break, try an older version of the software. Please see if the error you face looks like one from this thread viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6763&p=36723&hilit=google#p36723

Are there specific tools or methods available for troubleshooting and repairing VHD files that have been converted but are failing to mount or boot in Hyper-V? Thanks

The VM does not like the destination because of the driver conflict or wrong controller used.
You can try removing VMware or Integration tools before conversion.
