Convert VMDK created in Ver 1.02 to run on ESX Server 3.5

Asked by touellette83 in VMware

Tags: , ,

I am trying to convert a VM created in ver 1.02 to run on ESX 3.5

I am using the VMKFSTOOLS command and keep receiving the following error...

DiskLib_Check() failed for source disk The system cannot find the file specified (25).

I attached a putty session so you can see that the file does indeed exist and you can see the command syntax I have tried so far.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
