I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and tried converting the machine with VMware vCenter Converter (version 4.1). Every time I run the software I get the following error in less than one minute:
FAILED: Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code:
2147754754 (0x80042302).
I am oddly having a similar issue trying to use the Windows 7 Backup and Restore program to create a system image. I have scoured the vmware boards and the microsoft boards and nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated as this worked for me without a hitch with Vista Ultimate (except for the fact that Vista sucked!). Thanks.
