Re: [Qemu-devel] Creating a VM from an E01 file

[Cervellone, Adam]

I was able to successfully create the vmdk file I wanted.  The terminal hanging 
was just taking its time to write the file.  It is rather large though, about 
85 GB.  I've tried using VirtualBox 5.0 for linux and while it recognizes it as 
a vmdk file it does not select it when I specify it as the virtual hard disk I 
wish to use.  

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely,
Adam Cervellone

Your instructions say:

>> <give_a_name>.vmdk


but in your screenshot the command you run is:
 qemu-img convert /mnt/ewf1 -O vmdk /home/sansforensics/Desktop/Item1.vmdk

and you haven't filled in the 'E01 image file name' part.

qemu-img seems to give this slightly unhelpful error message if you pass it a 
directory name rather than a filename for the input file.
