Cannot virtualize my physical system (Win7 64)

Hello,

I am about to reinstall and trim my current Win 7 64 system, and prior to that I want to create a virtual machine for Workstation 10 out of my current OS-installation (I want it for settings and software-specific configurations that I am bound to overlook to backup before reinstalling).

 

But I cannot complete the process of converting my physical machine. I only try to convert the system disk DISK0, all others are deselected. I try two scenarios and run into two different errors.

When including the whole of the system disk (an SSD) I get this error at 1%:

FAILED: The VSS snapshots cannot be stored because there is not enough space on the source volumes or because the source machine does not have any NTFS volumes. Error code:
2147754783 (0x8004231F).

All disks in my system are NTFS, so I thought it could be related to lack of space on the system reserve partition of 100 MB on that disk, so I also tried converting while excluding that partition and only including the C: partition. Then it went better at first but at 98% I run into this error:

FAILED: Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.

What am I doing wrong? I'd be very grateful if someone could help me with this.

 

I attach log packages for both scenarios.

 

Best regards,

Peter
