Since mine went well, I'm not sure what you are running into. If the VM was
back on, perhaps it needs some minimum space. There is a way to cast the VM
manually over to the new E, but you have not got that available yet. I would
think turning off VM during all this, then a manual setting later would do
it. Remember you are doing all this in Vista at the moment, and later, the
VM should not be that much of an issue.
