How to Recover a VMWare P2V Fail at 97%
When converting a mirrored physical version of Windows to a virtual one in VMware Converter, an operation known as physical-to-virtual conversion, the program may stop responding when the conversion process is 97 percent complete. This issue is caused by the fact that VMware Converter cannot distinguish the original physical version of Windows from the mirrored one, and therefore attempts to convert both at the same time. You can fix the issue by separating the mirrored version from the physical one.
