Unable to find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible, VMWARE P2V error

Applies to Windows Vista, 7, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2

To resolve this issue:

1. Import the virtual machine to vCenter Server.
2. Boot the virtual machine from the correct Microsoft Windows installation media (Correct architecture and version of the OS).
3. Select the appropriate keyboard layout and language options and click Next.
4. Click Repair your computer.
5. Select the operating system to be repaired and click Next.
6. Click the Command Prompt.
7. Type bcdedit and press Enter.
8. Under the Windows Boot Manager title with the identifier set to {bootmgr}, you may see that the device is set to boot.  Similarly, under the Windows Boot Loader with the identifier set to {default}, you may see that the device and osdevice are set to boot. These items should be set properly for your environment. Usually these appear as partition=C:.  In some cases the {default} identifier may have them set to partition=D:.
   
   Run these commands to correct the configuration:
   
   Note: bcdedit is located in the following path, c:\windows\system32bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=C:
   
   bcdedit /set {default} device partition=C:
   
   bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=C:
9. Type exit at the command prompt and select Shutdown.
10. Try to reconfigure using VMware converter. The reconfigure should now complete successfully. If it fails again, repeat Steps 1 to 7 and then run these commands to set the default device to partition=D::
    
    bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=C:
    
    bcdedit /set {default} device partition=D:
    
    bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=D:
