Virtual Machine is not starting

I am trying to convert one of my stand alone servers to the vrtual environment. I install Stand alone converter from vmware website and run the conversion. It did gave me warning that its "unable to locate required Sysprep files" which I ignored.

According to the task progress inside the converter, conversion has been completed successfully.. I am attaching log file.

Now here where the problem begins: I can start up this machine on the virtual server. When I click on power on, the only thing that I see on the console scree is blinking cursor.

Any ideas on why this is happenening?

Hi, you can try with an older version of converter (http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/datacenter_downloads/vmware_vcenter_converter_standalone/3_0) i had the same issue and, with the converter 3, worked ok.

or

You can try do, with converter, a "Configure Machine".
