convert physical harddisk / vhd-file

I expected that it would be the easiest thing to do, to convert a hard disk from a broken laptop to a virtual machine, but I'm still struggling!

 

  • Using O&O Diskimage I created a .omg image file and converted this to an .vhd file - when setting up the VM in Workstation 11 I selcted this .vhd image as the virtual disk. Ruslt I got a Windows boot error (see attached file)
  • Converting the .vhd file with vConverter does not work, because vConverter can not read the .vhd file
  • Even the latest vConverter version (6.0.0) does not offer the option to convert a locally connected (external) harddisk (from a laptop) into a virtual machine image file.
  • software to create disk image file which are compatible with vConverter are mentioned in "VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Online Help : System Requirements : Supported Source Types" but lists only old software which is hard to get.

 

Any suggestions how to get this done ?
