This is will be my next experiment.

Looking at the vmware website, there is a tool called vmware converter that supports not only p2v and v2v but it also support v2p. Interesting. I will download now and try this later.

    “but it also support v2p”

    No sorry this is completely wrong. VMware DO NOT support V2P. They have a document at http://www.vmware.com/support/v2p/index.html that says how to use 3rd party tools to do v2p but it is very dated circa 2004 eg: it refers to windows 2000 and says XP is “not tested”.

    So if you still want to migrate (as opposed to dumping) Windows 2000 then this is the document for you. If you want to v2p windows 7 then this isn’t of any use.

  • Thank you for sharing your input. You are right in that sense. VMware just provided the guide and not the technical support. I don’t really have the time to experiment getting the v2p migration. However, I got the recommendation from a friend to use Platespin software for this v2p migration purpose.
