  • Do you have any FAT volumes on the existing server? have you tried doing a cold-conversion with the machine powered off? – Chopper3 Jun 08 '14 at 14:03
  • hi Chopper3, the system is based on usual NTFS system. I have note tried the cold-conversion. Appreciate if you could guide me on that – monketrip28 Jun 09 '14 at 05:28
  • I trust you are using the [vCenter Converter Standalone](http://www.vmware.com/go/download-converter) for the conversion? If so, are you using the latest version? Have you seen [this vmWare KB article](http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1019690) on this topic? – the-wabbit Jun 18 '14 at 08:47

Thank you for all your posts.... The problem was the USB Devices.... as soon as I removed them it worked flawlessly... again.. as a side not I like to add that it will not harm if you put your VSS on manual if its on automatic.... that should do the trick!.....
