Get the mistakes reached Maximum Volume Snapshots, trying to convert VMDK XP system hotcloning with converter last worm

Hi I get this error reaches Max Volume Snapshots re trying to convert VMDK XP system with converter hotcloning latest version 5.5.1. Error results in the conversion of a physical machine to fail at 1%.

I'm trying to convert a drive with a dual boot XP - 2 Xps on it for a Player 6 - a VMware VMDK as a C partition with W98SE original who no longer use.  The C partition has the bootloader boot ini for the dual Xps located on J and I have partitions.  Other partitions on disk cloning whole (need set as Xps access these disks at startup are: D, E: Docs program and shared (a logon for XP user profiles) and F, G and H (contains HD virtual 98SE VirtualPC) partitions.)

I'm running a chkdsk /f /r on all partitions and deleted snapshots of volume system (from system restore) and disabled the system restore in case that is the question.  I also tried to disable firewall as shown in the manual and stop several 3rd party services to run.  Do not use additional options when cloning.  Target is a 1 to free space (more copy partitions/disc) on a USB external drive '3 '.

I tried also with just J and no Partition selected with others and same error so not deliver the prob a system double - but do not know if the two will be not bootable in Vm together via boot ini choose as yet have on the physical machine.  Anyone know if this still works as a dualboot on VM or should I be cloning each with C separately like J or I become C as their drive letters are associated with many years of program installs don't want again.  Not sure if can fix these at the same time to be able to start or if on separate drives in the VM and always have access to all other partitions of two Xps - someone knows how to do better?

Also re my mistake - it's mainly what need fixed so he can achieve it - or it will be allowed to do this conversion coldclone via Windows 8.1 I on another drive - however C drive I need appears as a V as W81 is C on the host.  This will allow even a dual boot VM or at least one of the Xps or bootable drive v - maybe if I move it to C partition 1st position when copying VMDK?  Please keep in mind I have no job and only will use VmWare Player 6 or try in VirtualBox or Hyper-V on the host Windows Pro 8.1 if VmWare Player fails.

Thank you, but I had already done this and always says without clichés or none - questions - after even managed to fix my COM + install as well.

Alternative SOLUTION for those who have problems making their host Xp Vm hotclone

I finally used MOA Cold Clone ISO converter to make a virtual machine of my XPs and related partitions and now finally it seems to work after the configuration of the virtual machine created with the latest Vmware converter 5.5.1 (just to add Vmware Tools and remove selected restore points) via my host Windows 8.1 (such that it is impossible to configure via MOA but fact VM thin image).

Anyone with problems of manufacturing since their host XP VM and if want to make a VMware Player image - search the Internet for MOA Cold Clone converter (it uses a worm old VMware Converter 3 that allows cold cloning, I think that later to not)-it was relatively easy to install and use.

I could also dual boot via the boot ini file as before my 2 XP systems.

Make sure you just prΘconfiguration your ini file to start I did before the virtual machine to the physical host partition is on - I've added a few other partitions to start from tests in case of boot partition number has changed as he did.

For example: my Xp scores came after the 1st Partition C (boot ini containing the partition) and also a 2nd Partition - D and 3rd Partition - E (I left out F and G as agreed is no need as on the host) so my first XP became Partition 4, then 5 other XP Partition so in boot ini, I had put this :

[boot loader]

Timeout = 10

default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (5) \WINDOWS

[operating systems]

"multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (5) \windows="XP Pro SP3 HAND J - C Bootini "/ EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

"multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (4) \windows="XP REPLACEMENT / OLDER I DRIVE - ADMIN USE ONLY - repair/rescue/Backup "/ PAE USERVA 2560/fastdetect/noexecute = OptIn

multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (6) \windows="TEST PARTITION 6" / EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (7) PARTITION 7 "\windows="TEST / EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (8) \windows="TEST SCORE 8" / EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (9) \windows="TEST PARTITION 9" / EAP/fastdetect / 3 GB USERVA 2560/noexecute = OptIn

Test scores from 4 as I thought new shoe that would be 4, then 5 and then others added in case

You will need to change the number depending on how much other partitions are in front of your XP ones.

I used free Easeus Partition Manager to control the order of the partitions I was cloning the drive.

A free EasyBCD allows you also to modify and label your partitions to change your boot.ini file easily once you start in the right partition to boot ini that you set up above and before that you do / clone your Virtual Machine.

Note: the boot ini can only contain a limited number of registrations or bloodlines tests then you partition carefully probably not exercising that your operating system will be on after cloning a Vm.
