I'm attempting to convert a aging laptop to a VM but it fails at 1% with the vague error "An error occurred during the conversion: 'converter.fault.ConverterFileFault"
With VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client 5.5.1 build 1682692 running locally converting the currently running machine.
On a laptop with WinXP Sp3, with a single drive, saving the VM to an attached USB harddrive.
I have run chkdsk on the drive. (with /F option) and defragmented
Shadow copy services have been restarted and are running.
This is with the latest Converter client,
No firewall is active.
I am logged in as administrator
Drive isn't encrypted as far as I can tell (no Truecrypt)
The xp included backup utility works
I have looked at the other issues/logs here but don't see the exact same one
