You must use a buslogic-controller for the boot vmdk.
Older versions of Converter did not configure this correctly.
So probably you have a VM now that uses an IDE-disk.
Using an IDE-disk is beyond Converter and would require manual work.
Easiest option is to redefine the existing VMDK to scsi.
Then you must run the option "configure VM" again.
