StarWind Software

Hello. I am new to this software and would like to try convert my existing machine to a VM for hosting.
I have downloaded and used StarWind V2V Converter (9.0.1.772) Here are my steps.
1. P2V (Convert physical machine or disk)
2. Entire machine (Migrate this physical machine to a new virtual machine)
3. (Select disk volumes to convert) - Even if i am unsure on what to select, it doesn't matter what combination I use here
4. (Local file) - Unable to select. It is greyed out. ERROR
No matter what I do, I cannot get it to write a file even to an external drive. It will not allow selection.

Can anyone tell me what is going on? I have even tried re-booting in case it's some sort of low-level block device that needs kernel access or something.

Hi,
Welcome to our forum!
Is it an external USB disk?

Hi, Thanks for the welcome
No, I cannot choose any drive at all, including other SATA drives or USB devices.
I have attached SATA cable drives that are Data stores and I also have HDD attached via USB docking station for backup stores.
If I insert a large USB attached NVME, that makes no difference either.
None of the options work, the option remains greyed out and unable to be selected.
I also tried running as Administrator, it made no difference.

That's very strange.
Just to sum up: you can't select any output device? Could you please try converting it to the remote server?

I don't have a remote server to back it up to. I was using this to just try and make a VM of my local machine.

To let me escalate your request, I need to know more about the conversion scenario:
- OS that you are about to convert
- share the conversion logs
- screenshots.
