  • 1.  Unable to convert P2V with converter cd

    Posted Jun 17, 2013 03:46 PM

    Hi all

    We are trying to convert a Windows 2003 Server SP2 with the converter CD.

    The Server is shut down an we start from the cd.

    The Converter says that the network ist connected to the networt, it's also possible to connect a share in the network connection properties.

    When starting the migration process at the first step, slecting source it's not possible to choose anything an there is an error message which says "Unable to determine guest operating system"

    please see the logfile attached
