I am dual booting Fedora 10 64bit and Win764bit using Fedora boot manager.
Now I like the way the system behaves so I would like to convert the Fedora 10 to a Virtual Machine.
The system is not on the network since it's my test system so it's very difficult to download from repos.
Now I have tried VmWare converter 4 but to no avail, there are massive issues with GUI and dependencies hell.
So I have tried converting the system via a Vmware converter 3 boot disk (cold image) however it BSOD the system as soon as the PE loads.
Unfortunately Vmware does not allow the converter 4 to be used in a boot disk format.
Finally I decided to maybe run the converter 4 in Windows 7 and choose the "not mounted partitions...aka Fedora" however once I do this I get the following error.
[bold]FAILED: Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code:
2147754754 (0x80042302).[/bold]
Any hints would be necessary.
Also, if anyone knows a total collection of repos and dependencies that are required in order to have Vmware Converter 4 installed and running (including GUI) that would be great! I have no net access and my test system is upstairs so it's hell going back and forth between floors attempting to install another dependency.
I know one of the required software pieces is .x11 etc.
Sorry for the noob question and problem.
