Make vmware virtual machine from HDD with bad sectros
- by mike1616
I have a notebook with a bad HDD (it has bad sectors). I would like make a virtual disk with VMware workstation from this computer.
I installed VMware Workstation & VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client on this notebook, then I used virtualize a physical machine.
It started procedure but at 38% I got this error:
FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: 'BlockLevelVolumeCloneMgr::CloneVolume: Detected a write error during the cloning of volume \WindowsBitmapDriverVolumeId=[39-06-3A-06-00-02-13-4C-1D-00-00-00]. Error: 209 (type: 1, code:
13)'
I Googled it and I think it means that I have bad sectors on the HDD.
How can I solve this problem and make a virtual machine from HDD with bad sectors?
