Environment

PlateSpin Migrate
PowerConvert and Portability Suite 5.0 and higher

Situation

When attempting to convert a Windows NT 4.0 source machine that is using software spanned/mirrorred/RAID volumes, the conversion job fails during the file transfer step.

Resolution

Although PlateSpin Migrate does contain support for Windows 2000/2003 Dynamic Disks, Windows NT 4.0 uses a different mechanism for spanned, mirrorred and RAID volumes which is not supported by the PlateSpin Take Control Image.
