That's a RHEL 6 package, and could break libguestfs if used on Fedora 17. In any case, there is no need to use libguestfs-winsupport since NTFS support is provided in the base Fedora package.

It looks to me that the windows 2008 image I am attempting to convert is not being detected as windows but is being updated as a Linux system.

When PXE booted the server with the p2v image I ended up with this error: Failed to launch guestfs appliance. Try running again with LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 for more information The system image transferred and I was able to create an XML file to boot it under kvm with IDE disks. I undefined it and attempted to convert the system into another storage pool to help in the debugging and I ended up with the same error. This is what I ran: LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -os external --network default window2008_r1.xml 2>&1 | tee virt-v2v.log This is the log file that was produced: " libguestfs: new guestfs handle 0x32df9a0 libguestfs: trace: add_drive_opts "/run/media/jkates/WD-3TB-DSK-B/p2v/window2008_r1-cciss_c0d0" "format:raw" "iface:ide" "name:hda" libguestfs: trace: add_drive_opts = 0 libguestfs: trace: add_drive_opts "/tmp/JxIRaWzMVf" "readonly:true" "format:raw" "iface:ide" libguestfs: trace: add_drive_opts = 0 libguestfs: trace: set_network true libguestfs: trace: set_network = 0 libguestfs: trace: launch libguestfs: [00000ms] febootstrap-supermin-helper --verbose -f checksum '/usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d' x86_64 supermin helper [00000ms] whitelist = (not specified), host_cpu = x86_64, kernel = (null), initrd = (null), appliance = (null) supermin helper [00000ms] inputs[0] = /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d checking modpath /lib/modules/3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 is a directory picked vmlinuz-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 because modpath /lib/modules/3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 exists checking modpath /lib/modules/3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64 is a directory picked vmlinuz-3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64 because modpath /lib/modules/3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64 exists checking modpath /lib/modules/3.7.5-101.fc17.x86_64 is a directory picked vmlinuz-3.7.5-101.fc17.x86_64 because modpath /lib/modules/3.7.5-101.fc17.x86_64 exists supermin helper [00000ms] finished creating kernel supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/base.img supermin helper [00000ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/daemon.img supermin helper [00001ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/hostfiles supermin helper [00054ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/init.img supermin helper [00054ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/ntfs.hostfiles supermin helper [00055ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/ntfs.img supermin helper [00055ms] adding kernel modules supermin helper [00134ms] finished creating appliance libguestfs: [00146ms] begin building supermin appliance libguestfs: [00146ms] run febootstrap-supermin-helper libguestfs: [00146ms] febootstrap-supermin-helper --verbose -f ext2 /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d x86_64 /var/tmp/guestfs.ohng6U/kernel /var/tmp/guestfs.ohng6U/initrd /var/tmp/guestfs.ohng6U/root supermin helper [00000ms] whitelist = (not specified), host_cpu = x86_64, kernel = /var/tmp/guestfs.ohng6U/kernel, initrd = /var/tmp/guestfs.ohng6U/initrd, appliance = /var/tmp/guestfs.ohng6U/root supermin helper [00000ms] inputs[0] = /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d checking modpath /lib/modules/3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 is a directory picked vmlinuz-3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 because modpath /lib/modules/3.6.11-5.fc17.x86_64 exists checking modpath /lib/modules/3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64 is a directory picked vmlinuz-3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64 because modpath /lib/modules/3.7.3-101.fc17.x86_64 exists checking modpath /lib/modules/3.7.5-101.fc17.x86_64 is a directory picked vmlinuz-3.7.5-101.fc17.x86_64 because modpath /lib/modules/3.7.5-101.fc17.x86_64 exists supermin helper [00000ms] finished creating kernel supermin helper [00393ms] finished mke2fs supermin helper [00394ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d supermin helper [00394ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/base.img supermin helper [03635ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/daemon.img supermin helper [03646ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/hostfiles supermin helper [08967ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/init.img supermin helper [08968ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/ntfs.hostfiles supermin helper [08973ms] visiting /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/ntfs.img febootstrap-supermin-helper: ext2fs_unlink_inode: Ext2 inode is not a directory libguestfs: trace: launch = -1 (error) virt-v2v: Failed to launch guestfs appliance.
