P2V question

I have a server that I am trying to P2V. First I tried from my VCENTER to pull the server into a virtual, it failed. Second, I downloaded the P2V Stand-alone program and tried to push from the Server to virtual, failed. I was then told by a friend that there is a "cold boot" CD that you can also use. I would like to try this but have been having a very hard time locating it on this site. I find plenty of articles talking about it, but cannot find a download. Anyone know where this is located, so that I can download it?

TIA,

Eric

If you have a support agreement, you can get the Standalone Enterprise Converter, which has the coldclone.iso

You haven't given us a whole lot to go on here, so it's hard to help you (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-1070).

I am not looking for help, if I wanted help I would call support. I just want to know how to get my hands on the Cold Clone download. I've also been told it is called the P2V Source machine Boot CD.

Due to constant failures - are you 100% sure that you tried to P2V one of the OSes supported by the converter?

You can also try Vizioncore vConverter.
