Conversion of SCSI disk to IDE

How can I convert a SCSI disk to IDE disk, what I did was convert a physical machine into a virtual Machine, but the problem starts after playing the virtual machine, windows shows an error saying that it cannnot read the disk. The disk I virtualize was a ide Disk, but VMware shows a SCSI disk. How can I solve this?

Converter will always create SCSI disks. This is normal and should not cause a problem.

What OS are you converting? What is the exact error message? (And for completeness, what product are you using? Workstation 5 or 6, Server, Player?)

Were there multiple disks? Try changing the disk boot order in the BIOS setup
