Hi,

I am trying to do a P2V on my old PC's HD, so I can add it as a VM to my new computer. The P2V keeps failing on a read error. Is there a way to ignore errors, so I can get the bulk of the data?

I have run chkdsk, and the utility that came with my old SSD and they both do not find any errors. I have also tried to shrink the drive, as the error as at the very end, and the system won't let me shrink it.

Here are the last few lines from the logs:

It looks like there is a problem there on the file system. Try creating a VHDX, mount it to the file system, and try something like Macrium Reflect.
