After converting physical machine, Floppy and CD show remote backings

I have successfully converted a server and now the floppy and cd-rom show a device status of "Connected -client unknown" The options are greyed out when the server is on and when off. I have removed the CD-rom from the server but the floppy still shows as explained above. The virtual floppy is set to disconnected at this point. and client device is the type. Anyone know how to get rid of an unknown client device?

What is the OS of the machine you converted? Where was it converted to (product)?

What !'s do you see in your device manager in your converted VM?

Have you tried converting the box after disconnecting/removing the floppy and CD/DVD drives and any other USB external devices?
