vmware, converter, sharepoint

Hi,
We have a Windows Server 2003 that is running Sharepoint 2007 Standard Edition and also Microsoft SQL Server 2005. We shutdown both Sharepoint services and SQL Server services, and use the VMWare converter to convert the whole Windows server into a VMWare image.
After successful conversion, we found that we cannot start up Sharepoint 2007. It shows errors that indicate missing files such as C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_32\System.EnterpriseServices\2.0.0.0_b...\System.EnterpriseServices.dll not found.
Our question is, has anyone successfully converted Sharepoint into VMWare. If so, what are the steps? It seems that we have shutdown Sharepoint, but yet VMWare still does not seem to grab all the files in the server.

Thanks.
