I have a similar problem while converting a Windows VM from a VMWare Server 2 to ESXi 4.1.

[task,374] [task-16] — ERROR — Convert: converter.agent.internal.fault.NfcConnectionFault
(converter.agent.internal.fault.NfcConnectionFault) {
dynamicType = ,
faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,
faultMsg = “File transfer failed.
Dst error: Network error — Failed to send header message”,
msg = “”,
}

The chkdsk fixed the disk problems but it always shows errors when converts the VM.

What happens if you run the chkdsk on the device and attempt to redo the cloning? Does chkdsk detect any errors?

I as well am having this same issue. Does anybody have a cure?

FAILED: An error occurred during the conversion: ‘BlockLevelVolumeCloneMgr::CloneVolume: Detected a write error during the cloning of volume \WindowsBitmapDriverVolumeId=[31-B2-31-B2-00-40-00-00-00-00-00-00]. Error: 209 (type: 1, code:

I am getting a similar error message attempting to convert a Linux machine to VM
I am using “Vmware vCenter Converter Standalone Ver 5.0.0 build-470252″ to do the conversion and my ESX server is running “VMware ESX 4.1.0 Build 260247″
I have found no solution to this. So, I would appreciate your help…
This is the error that I am getting and if you need the entire log files please let me know and I will email it you.
Error message
faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,
