Could not locate the system volume

I have a very similar problem that has been published before; However, the posted solution worked.

I can't find in the newspapers, what is actually wrong.  If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

"Then the conversion of a server to ESX 3.5 Server 2003 I received this message after only 95% complete.". Failure of the Reconfiguration of the error. With the State: FAILED: could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.

I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1"

Newspapers reported the following errors (which are equivalent):

Impossible to reconfigure a source that doesn't have a system volume

converter.fault.ReconfigurationNoSystemVolumeFault

It seems that there are 2 physical disks in the system

> Drive:
. \PhysicalDrive0 a type of adapter: 1

> Drive:
. A type of adapter \PhysicalDrive1: 1

Converter is to see the C:\ as long as the system volume, but there is no active flag set on it.  The second disc is recognized, but according to it's Converter:

> is a dynamic volume. No significant partition information may be associated with him

So, it looks like there's a mirror of software on the source physical system or the original system was dual boot between something like Windows 2008 and 2003 Server.

If it's a mirror of the software, you can:

-remove the mirror and conversion

-Use gparted on the virtual machine to set start-up/active at the first vmdk file flags, and then reconfigure the virtual machine via converter

If it is a dual-boot configuration, then I do not think that it is supported.

    Hello

    I'm trying to virtualize a physical machine to my VMware infrastructure. I success to another machine, but this time it crashes.

    Here are the features:

    Software: Client VMware Converter standalone 4.0.1

    Machine: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise with Exchange 2003 SP1

    Disks: 2 * 80 GB drives used in RAID 1 software mirror (2 partitions C: & D: cross the two discs)

    VMware farm: ESXi 4.1

    Configuration of the converter: http://image.bayimg.com/faackaadc.jpg

    I try to convert the machine but I get the following message "FAILED: could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible." 95 per cent at the stage of reconfiguration (he create only a single vmdk).

    My research, it is likely due to software mirror, implying to dynamic disks.

    But I must not modify the physical machine, I have to migrate the computer because it is unchanged.

    A machine appears in vCenter. When I started it, it does not start. With QParted, I activated the flag of "boot". Now the machine starts, but I immediately get a blue screen even in safe mode. ( http://image.bayimg.com/faacaaadc.jpg )

    I've added the vmdk to another machine, and run diskmgmt.msc to convert dynamic disk to basic disk, but he saw disc base already.

    What can I do to convert my machine?

For the most part just download windows 10 and then by restarting the computer as if nothing happened. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    I would like to ask you:

    • You are running Windows 7 or Windows 10 on your PC?
    • When was the last time it was working fine? Remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Given that you are unable to complete the scan of SFC and Task Manager is empty, usually reinstall or do a repair install is the best choice of action. However, we can try to fix these files and check if that helps. To do this, refer to the steps below:

    1. Open the start menu and type "cmd".
    2. Right-click on the command prompt and click "run as administrator".
    3. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each.

    DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    After you run these commands, restart the system and check.

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • Although the recommended minimum requirements are 16 GB (32-bit), 20 GB (64-bit), if you upgrade from a previous version of Windows or a previous version, you will need to have at least 40-50 GB of free space to accommodate the installation files.
    • First run Disk Clean up.
    • Archive files rarely used to an external hard drive.
    • Consider data synchronization to OneDrive or similar online service and do a custom installation.
    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • Do a clean boot, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both and try the installation again.
    • If you update via Windows Update, when download reaches 100%, disconnect the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, and proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (e.g., USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripheral non-essential).

  • Windows 10 could not locate the boot camp partition

I enter my product key for my Windows 7 DVD and reach the screen showing partitions.  I select "disk 0 Partition 5 Boot Camp" partition and click on 'Format' according to the Apple support document.  The partition is then renamed to 'Drive Partition 0 5'.  When I select the next button, I get the following error message:- "we couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.  For more information, see the Setup logs files'.  The Windows Installer does not progress.  I deleted the partition several times using bootcamp and restarted the installation and always get the same failure.

    Any advice on how to install Windows would be greatly appreciated.  Boot Camp 6 will let me install Windows 7 on the iMac and so I need to use Windows 10.  I guess the Windows 10 ISO downloaded from Microsoft will work with the Windows 7 product key and Setup seems to accept it.

  • Could not locate the agent.exe ODS.

    In recent weeks, when my computer starts up, I get a message that says ODS agent.exe impossible to locate the component dnssd, dll not found - need to re - install. I don't remember to remove whatever it is and wonder if this is a serious problem and how can I fix it?  I use Windows XP Home Edition II.

    Thanks for your help.  Elizabeth

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    If you mean that you see a message like this:

    ODSAgent.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because c:\windows\system32\dnssd.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this message.

    ODSAgent belong to some software from Apple that allows remote DVD and CD disc sharing, restoration of system software and a migration wireless with MacBook Air.

    If you have not deleted the file, he could have been quarantined (actually deleted) by your unspecified antivirus/antimalware software.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    If you use this Apple software and features, you can see if the uninstall and reinstall the application by downloading it from the Apple page:

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/DL112

    You might be able to get by with only replace the missing c:\windows\system32\dnssd.dll file that you can download on my SkyDrive, but there could be other files that are missing too so a relocation may be required if you use this software.

    If you do not use this software, you can uninstall it or disable the ODSAgent Service, so it does not start when you restart your system.

    Note that the 'experts' Support who are engaged by Microsoft engineer will say just to try running sfc/scannow and check if it helps (to help any) or run msconfig and disable the Service and that you will keep seeing the message, but that is not the problem - it fixes the symptom of a problem which is not the same thing that actually solve the problem (however counts as a 'response' on) their planet).
     
    Maybe it's fine if you use not just software, but you will leave with a sloppy XP configuration.

    If you do not know the software and do not use it, just uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs, and that should remove afflicted startup ODSAgent as well.

    To download the c:\windows\system32\dnssd.dll on my SkyDrive, follow these steps:

    I downloaded a copy of the file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, put a copy of the file in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called dnssd when the name of the file should really be called c:\windows\system32\dnssd.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    Restart and look at things, to remember that you will have to perhaps download and reinstall this app from Apple, if other files are missing.
