I have discovered a strange thing: when i make che vmdk form the
original machine, all my last changes are lost. I have found this
because before shut downthe machine i have created a new folder on the
desktop, then shut down the machine and executed that command into the
vmware server:

vmware-vdiskmanager -r Windows\ 2000\ Server-cl1.vmdk -t 0 win2000-pve.vmdk

Then copied to the proxmox machine, and issued that command:

qemu-img convert -f vmdk win2000-pve.vmdk -O qcow2 win2000-pve.qcow2

Then, i have booted it from a live linux, mounted the disk, and the new
folder on the desktop does not exist! In fact, also into the
c:\winnt\system32\drivers some .sys files previously added are missing!

I have checked the file in use on vmware for that machine, and the file
is "Windows 2000 Server-cl1-000006.vmdk". In fact, into the vmware
directory i have some files like "Windows 2000 Server-cl1-00000X.vmdk"

So, all my copy on the proxmox lost my modify on the running
vmware...that is why does not boot...!!!!

But, what i am doing wrong?

Cordially,

Claudio Prono.
