You need to be much more specific about how it "refuses to boot".
I was also unable to import just the D drive attached to a VM, it
gave me the error " virt-v2v: No root device found in this operating
system image".
As explained earlier, data disks don't need any conversion. There is
nothing that virt-v2v could do with them, and it isn't able to operate
on data disks, only on operating systems.
Right now I am trying to consolidate the KVM virtual machine down to
1 disk partitioned to the necessary C and D drives, and ill try an
import like that (since it was previously successful coming from KVM
with just the one disk).
A word of caution: Don't use Windows logical disks. Use regular
partitions. Although we now support LDM upstream, that support is not
in RHEL 6.
