I am trying to use Xen Convert to change my physical windows 8.1 install to virtual. However, every time I try to start the conversion process it fails. I narrowed down the problem but I am having a hard time solving it. Upon launch of the conversion process the application creates a VHD on the local machine. Soon as it mounts the drive I get the all too familiar "format drive X: to use it". Before I can click yes and format it, the operation fails and I am presented with a log. I also see the new disk appear in disk management, but before I can even click on it, it unmounts it. I tried adding some parameters to the xenconvert.ini to extend the time it waits for the drive to be available but the parameters are not having any affect on the application. I tried to enable automount in windows through disk part, that didnt help either.
I have read the xenconvert 2.5 guide cover to cover and I cant find much online beyond what I already tried. However, I could be using the wrong search terms.
Does anyone have an experience with the mounting issue or XenConvert and could help me out?
