I have now changed the command to qemu-img convert /mnt/ewf1/ewf1 -O vmdk /home/sansforensics/Desktop/Item1.vmdk and two things have happened. 1. An Item1.vmdk file is now on the desktop. Terminal just hangs after running the command. The cursor is blinking and the shell prompt has not returned. The SIFT Workstation is running in VMware Player 7, should I try exporting the newly made vmdk to the windows host and running it in VirtualBox or VMware player?
