"Unable to Obtain Hardware Information" P2V LocalMachine to ESXI 5 - Solved!

I have been trying for days to have replicate a Physical Machine to an ESXI 5 Server.

I continously received "Unable to Obtain Hardware Information" Error.. But I have done this before.

Uninstalled Converter, reinstalled, uninstalled, deleted any vmware files, deleted any vmware reg keys, reinstalled.  Same issue.

Ejected iPod I had charging on that machine, Works like a charm.
