Make sure you select the external drive with the harddisk of the server. Now you should see a screen popup which allows you to select a PhysicalDrive by its drivenumber. What's the command to convert it? I am running Worstation 12 on Windows 7Īdd hardware > select "harddisk" > select SCSI > click NEXT > select "Use a physical disk" I've actually already created a virtual machine called broken server. I am planning on putting it on a separate external drive that is unused.

How to convert laptop drive (with a dead laptop) for use as VMware image? I found this thread but I'm confused about the exact command to convert the hard drive. What's the best way to turn it into a vmdk? I know that I can slave the hard drive to the virtual machine but I'd rather convert it. I can slave the hard drive as an external drive in an enclosure to access the files. Keep in mind the server is dead so I can't run it to access the files that way. How do I do that? I installed vCenter converter but I can only find the options of using the local machine or a remote machine. I want to take the hard drive of a dead server and convert it to a virtual machine so that I can run it on a replacement server.
