Can't import virtual machine from a different computer with vmware 6.0.2

Hello, I have got a new computer and I installed Workstation 6.0.2 to it. Now I would like to transfer my virtual machines into the new computer.

I copied all the images directory into a usb drive, and on the new computer I did import and selected "stand alone" and the .vmx file.

I get a message "Unable to determine guest operating system". This happens the same with all 3 virtual machines I got which are 2 XP Pro and 1 Server 2003.

Please advise

Thanks, Ziv

Why can't you just copy whole guest directory from old computer (host) to a new one?
