Go Virtual Stucked in P2V Copy Wizard

I'd like to virutalize my Windows XP SP3.

After selected "P2V Copy", "C:\" drive, then operation failed at "Building a virtual machine". A popup says "Volume exclusive access is required to complete the operation."

I tried "Retry" and the "What files prevent operation completion" link, but none of these work.

Any suggestion?

 

do the following:
* open the folder where GoVirtual is installed, it's usually:
"C:\Program Files\Paragon Software\GoVirtual"
* find there "layout.ini" file and open it in Notepad
* find "Use VSS = on" parameter and change it to "Use VSS = off"
* find "Use VSS <-> Hotbackup switch = off" parameter and change it to "Use VSS <-> Hotbackup switch = on"
* save changes
run P2V Copy again.

 

Wow it works! Thanks a lot!!

 

you are welcome

 

I am having the exact same problem, only on a Win2k pro machine.
I tried Mech_An's fix, but it didn't help.
Is there a different flag that needs to be set/unset for win2k?

 

As far as I know, Win2k doesn't have VSS at all.

Is it installed to FAT32 system partition?

Please try to disable antivirus and stop all running processes except System processes before running P2V copy.
