VMware Converter is supposed to (according to its data sheet) be able to convert Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 VHD images into VMware format disk images. But, it didn't do anything except generate error messages for me. I first tried to convert a CentOS 4.4 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 community rebuild). VMware Converter reported that the file was corrupted despite the fact that I had just used it a few minutes earlier before shutting it down for the conversion attempt. I next tried a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine. This time, VMware Converter reported that it couldn't identify the Guest Operating System Type. Yeah, ok, sure. So, has this thing worked at all for anyone?

For the record, I tried this on a notebook PC running Windows Vista Business Edition. It has 2GB RAM and plenty of free disk space.

UPDATE: I moved over to an XP PC. VMware Converter still refused to work with the CentOS 4.4 VHD file. However, it seems to be working with the Windows Server 2003 R2 VHD file.
