Here is my situation:
I have a Fat32 Bootcamp partition on an iMac and I want to convert it to a strictly Virtual Machine to use on a new Macbook Pro.
When I try to use the Converter I get the error:
"ERROR: Failed to take snapshot of a source volume. Possible Causes include not having any NTFS volumes on Windows XP or Windows 2003 source systems, and not having enough free disk space".
I looked in the manual and couldn't find any mention of the file format needing to be NTFS in order to be converted.
Before I change the file format can anyone tell me that my problem is indeed that it is in Fat32
(I am trying to copy onto a USB Fat32 drive with plenty of space)
Thanks
Converter uses Microsoft's VSS service to create a "snapshot" of the source volumes which is used for conversion. This service is present on all systems (windows XP, 2k3 onwards). For OSes prior to that we use a 3rd party snapshot driver.
VSS requires at least one of the volumes to be NTFS in order to create the snapshot.
