P2V Server Migration Fails with Not Enough Space for Partion?

[Stuart MacDonald]

I'm having trouble with the P2V migration of a Proliant DL380 G4 server.

Here is the physical's spec's.
DL380 G4 3.4 Ghz Dual Proc
2 Gig Ram
6 36 Gig HD's configured as
c: hardware mirror 36.gig
D: hardware raid 5 100 Gig

When I run the P2V conversion tool the job fails with "Not enough space for partion!" This does not make sense as the VMWare GSX server where the new virtual machine resides has 300 GIG of free disk space available.

My hunch is that the hardware mirror is causing the problem. Yet, as far as windows is concerned both disks are "basic disks".

Any ideas on a solution to this problem?

Here is the complete error message from Insight Manager.
