Hi

I try since two days to do this conversion. I have already installed the converter,disabled anti virus and firewall on Windows and activated sharing on Macintosh.

I have stopped the first try (this morning) and here are some facts:

- I have three SATA disks of on TB each. the two first are configured in RAID 0. The third is alone. Some not allocated free space exists. Several formatted (and containing data) partitions are present but without a letter to access them (I wanted to exclude them from the operaion but as far as I can understand it is not possible). The estimated necessary space for the operation is 1 TB and I had to buy a 1.5 TB external disk to do the operation.

- After nearly 9 hours the operation was done at 92% and estimated remaining time less than one hour. But, unfortunately, there were no progress from that. Monitoring on Windows showed a correct activity (disk and network) untill that point. From that on, the converter continued to run but related network and disk actiivity became insignificant. I leaved it all the night and it was always at the same point. So I interrupted the operation this morning. The two computers were connected with a switch.

- Another try is in progress and have same estimations but this time the two computers are connected via Ethernet cable directly

 

Any comments/help are welcome.

 

Thanks in advance
