In the end the only option that worked was the VMware VCenter Converter conversion of the powered on OS. * Ran a chkdsk on the problem laptop and it repaired some stuff after which the conversion completed so I have a VM that I will try out tomorrow. FAIL (took forever to restore then couldn't get it to boot without blue screening). Failing #2 on the replacement machine, try the new VM/Acronis boot restore approach.
Download v4.3 of the converter and try that with the Acronis Image (which is currently on the replacement machine for the laptop). Use VMware vCenter Converter to convert the OS live (it's a laptop that has shown some signs of dying). In the meantime I'll try the Acronis recovery disk and new VM route to see if that will get me going.ĮDIT: In interim to any thoughts from you experts, I am going to try these things (some in parallel).ġ. Is there anything I can try (besides concluding that the converter doesn't work?). I am using a supported version of Acronis, yet the converter fails at the first hurdle! Have found many posts pointing out that 2010 is not version 10, and 2011 is not version 11, which is fine because those 20xx versions are not the versions I am using. FAILĪcronis True Image 11 Home is definitely listed as compatible here: I'm trying to use the converter (5.0.0 build 470252) now on an Acronis True Image 11 (Home version) image which is supposedly compatible, but am getting the same "The source parameters are invalid." message that others keep seeing.
