The reason in this case is the IDE virtual disk. Increasing IDE disks is not supported from the vSphere Client.

Take a look at VMware KB: Converting a virtual IDE disk to a virtual SCSI disk to see whether this is an option for you.

Please check the VM's settings and disconnect the CD-ROM if connected. If this doesn't help, please attach (using the Advanced Editor) the VM's .vmx file to a reply post.
