Failed P2V SBS 2003

Hi,

I've got a problem when my P2V finish the reconfiguration failed !

The message is : "Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible."

I've ever test that solution :

     http://communities.vmware.com/message/1381098

But i've got the same issue. When i start the VM i see a blue screen with 7B error.

The P2V is a hot P2V.

Can you help me please ?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english Smiley Happy

did you already tried the suggestions I made in that other post ?

if yes and it still does not boot - post the vmx-file, the boot.ini and a screenshot of diskmanagement

In the vmx-file you use

scsi0.virtualDev = "pvscsi"

that will not work.
Set the line to "buslogic"
and then run Converter "configure machine" again
