Hello --- I just converted a 2tb drive to a vmdk -- the drive was about 50% full --- vmdk file is around 800gb -- when go to mount it, the partition is incorrect is there a way to debug this

Welcome to StarWind Forum. What is the source disk (dynamic or fixed) and destination?

The source is fixed via USB connection the target is a local vmdk file that grows to size as needed

Great, thanks for letting me know.

thanks for your reply --- I have a screen shot of the drive in the disk manager if you need to see what this look like

Just to be clear: are you converting a USB volume to a virtual one? What is the output disk? Is it fixed or dynamic?

yes this is a usb attached fixed drive 1 primary partition with a ntfs file system converting to a vmdk growable drive ---

here is a link to a screen shot of the disk manager --- disk4 is source and disk4 and disk6 is the mounted vmdk file

Try converting that USB to a fixed drive.

not sure what you mean by "fixed drive" the end result has to be a vmdk file --- do you mean that the drive should be connected to the computer sata interface?

There are 2 conversion options: growable (dynamic) and fixed. See more at https://community.spiceworks.com/t/what ... 6/553727/2

I don't think my target drive has 2tb free l will have look at that

No worries.
Could you please let me know if you have access to your data on that 800 GB device?

No if you look at the link there are 4 partitions that map to junk windows does not even a sign a drive letter

Could you please share the conversion logs with me?

where are the logs saved?
