Can you send the screenshot where you cannot modify the Disk partitions?

Hi,
Doing some DR testing with a trial copy of Backup Exec 16. Taking the live tapes, I'm trying to convert a physical machine to a virtual machine from a backup set. I've inventoried the tapes and catalogued them but when I run the convert to a VM from a point in time, it correctly picks up the server and the C drive/System state etc but it's failing to pick up the System configuration for the physical server in the wizard and I can go no further.
We've done this in the past without an issue and the only change that we've made since then, is that the backup jobs are no longer allocated a specific tape device, we now allow the job to pick any free tape (we have 6 tape drives).
Any ideas?
TIA

Hi Paul,
Are you running conversion of a Windows 2012 server?
If yes, are there any Dynamic disks?, The conversion of physical computers that have dynamic disks is not supported.
Can you send the screenshot where you cannot modify the Disk partitions?

Hi MilindP,
Thanks for the reply and my apologies in the late reply. We've blizted the test server that we built so it's no a moot point. If I have the same trouble when we redo it I'll repost teh question.
Thanks,
Paul
