I don't understand what you want to do. Can you give examples about how your setup is now and what you exactly want to end up with?
Why would you want to migrate from 3 hard disks to 1 single hard disk (e.g. partitions ?)

It is 3 different  HDs  and I want to consolidate into one.  
It is one of our main Netmail Servers and each HD has different tasks.
HD1 = 250 GB
HD2 = 2.5 TB
HD3 = 1.5 TB

The backups are running on snapshots, even after deleting it.  We are hopeful consolidating them may fix it.

Thank you for your advise.  I need to know How to  consolidate  3 HDs into one.
You will have to do it manually, I don't think VMware Converter, is going to help you.
Sure.  do you know how to do it manually - is there any guide or link?
Also, I was wondering if  I could create a New VM and have all the 3 HDs copied into one -  is there a procedure you know of?
