Have you used the right .vmdk? Sometimes VMware creates a small text
file containing only a few hundred bytes of text describing the actual
disk. If you convert (or use) this file, it will create (or use) an
empty disk image. If "$ file foo.qcow2" reports something with "size 0 +
0", you should look into the original .vmdk file, find the real file
name and convert (or use) this one.

Can you tell us the actual message?
