"Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine." Error ov V2V conversion

Hello,

 

I'm trying to convert s Windows 2008 32 bit VM from VServer to ESXi 5.1. It always errors with the above message. I have tried using VmWare Converter 5.1, 5.01 and 4.3.  Using 4.3 I get a further (I get a "A general system error occurred: Invalid fault" when I click the finish button.)  I did get the converter 5.1 to work with s 2003 32-bit OS I had.

 

Some things I tried:

- Changed VM type from 2008 to 2003

- Powered the machine up and then shutdown cleanly

- Made sure there was nothing weird with in the configuration that could hang the conversion up like NIC configurations, etc.

 

I really have no idea what to do at this point.  I have tried every solution and workaround I have found through Google and nothing seems to work. Not really sure where to go from here.  Anyone out there have anything that has worked for them?

 

Thanks,

Adam
