Hi All,
I may have this wrong but I have been told I can use Converter for the following issue.
I have two old desktop PCs dating back to 2000 and 2004. Both are running win2000pro and they were business PCs. I keep them because there is data that I occasionally need to refer back to. I would like to make images of them and install them in the VMWare Player if that is indeed what Converter will allow me to do. Then I can clear the old machine HDDs and donate the boxes to the local Seniors Center.
Current Host PC is win7pro and the process is...
Booted a win2000 box, logged in and got it's Dynamic IP address.
Win7 can see and access the w2000 Folders and file, as can TightVNC (just to make sure it was available).
I started Converter (v5.1) and logged into Local.
Clicked "Convert Machine".
Selected "Powered on Machine," only option.
Entered IP, Login and Password for Windows family.
Accepted the "install files..."
Error Message "The operation could not be completed for 192.168.0.6\ADMIN$ for incorrect User credentials."
It upper-cased the Admin and added the $ to the end. Is that the problem or something else?
Thanks
Harry
