I figured the filesize looks correct, so I just manually renamed it. While setting up the Virtual Hard Disk in VMWF and trying to use the recently converted VM, I get an error message "The file specified is not a virtual disk". I came across <a href="http://www.sysdevsoftware.com/soft/makevm.php" rel="nofollow">MakeVM</a>, which is a shareware cloning utility. Qemu-img should do the job, though, right? Thanks in advance for suggestions. -s. Hello,

I’m trying to convert an XP hdd to vmdk with qemu-img (so as to use Parallels’ XP VM in VMWF) and I get a 4.73GB file named “-O”. I figured the filesize looks correct, so I just manually renamed it. While setting up the Virtual Hard Disk in VMWF and trying to use the recently converted VM, I get an error message “The file specified is not a virtual disk”.

I came across MakeVM, which is a shareware cloning utility. Qemu-img should do the job, though, right?

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Since the -O doesn't work on a Mac, maybe add which OS is being used? Thanks to xurizaemon to even find qemu-img. I omitted "-O" mentioned by "Peter Knowles" since it appears to default to raw. However I get: .: 124: Can't open /boot/system.cfg I guess I'll try to get QEMU to do the conversion from within Parallels running Ubuntu or Windows (on the Mac host). Maybe change the “What you’ll need” section?

Suppose that you have a VM1 (in VMWare) and VM2 (in Parallels). Connect G4U CD to VM1 and boot from G4U CD. Following the instruction of G4U, you can back up image to a FTP server or someplace else. Then, use G4U boots up VM2 and download the image from FTP server. Requirement, HDDs in VMs are in same size. Use G4U could be fine. Suppose that you have a VM1 (in VMWare) and VM2 (in Parallels).
