Which version of Converter have you used?
Have you install also the VMware Tools?
Have you run the Converter from the source machine?

The VMware products check the integrity of the virtual disks on power on and will automatically repair them if possible. There is no separate/standalone tool to repair the virtual disk, since it's built into the product.
U would require to build the disk once more.. was there any error ???
cheers,

Yes, i tried with both HDD mean default and standalon.
Try to use the old VMware Standalone Converter 3.0.3.
Install on the physical machine and run from there.
Remember to install the VMware Tools during the conversion.

Maybe they will sole your trouble.

often converter 4 simply forgets to set the new partition as active - boot into your favorite LiveCD and check it before trying the import again
