Dear can i import this VM on VMware vsphere infrastructure like Esxi 5.0.
I have a very old Pentium II machine that runs windows 2000 and I would like to rescue the contents of the 18 year old HDD as a working virtual machine but reading the guide
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/convsa_61_guide.pdf
it seems I'm out of luck with support!
I really want to have the entire thing working as a virtual machine because it contains special software with data records!
I have already tried using clonezilla or redo backup, but the resulting images just won't boot!
Could anyone give me any advice please ?
Thank you

Your converter allows you to convert working machines. I need to visualise a hd from a dead computer to use VMware Fusion. Are there any tutorial I can follow?
Guys would you help me plz ?! i've tried it in my pc which has WINDOWS 8 as exploitation system but it didn't work .. WHAT SHOULD I DO !!! :/
Hi, I see that you use an external HD as destiny. Can I use a local destiny? Have the converter installed on the machine that I want to convert and use the same machine as destiny?
I 've tried and it didn't work with xp…. any other suggestion?
converting 180Gb of my windows image takes 2 days. 🙁
While it should be "possible" to convert a Windows 2012 machine using VMware Converter, it is worth noting that this operating system has not been tested and/or certified for use with Converter at this time. See page 19 of the Converter users guide at vmware.com/pdf/convsa_50_guide.pdf
Good video, but converting a physical machine to ESX more interesting.
