Hello,

Do I have to understand that :
- I should perform a fsck on my guest filesystem before the P2V?
- I should ensure there is enough available space on it?

The partition I'm trying to convert is 50Go large, filled up with 
something like 40Go. Even with a big error margin, it seems comfortable.
Before the P2V, I did no fsck, but I used to microsoft defrag tool (the 
old 2003 one). I'm not sure it also checks the filesystem integrity...

- Finally, when you write about the "NEW" v2v, what version do you speak 
about? Is the one I used (0.9.1.2) not new enough? (I know it is not the 
very last, but quite decent though).

Well, thank you for having answered.
On this conversion, I have no choice but succeed.
I also tried the old livecd+netcat+dd option, but the OS did not even 
boot, even if I copied the MBR and double check the special flag with an 
hex editor ("FF").

So I will keep trying until success.
