Are you using WDS? I got that error once when using WDS. The WDS service had stopped. I just restarted it
ASKER
what is WDS
Windows Deployment Services. I use it to boot from the network card and install OSes from it. I keeps images from different OSes and dont use CDs to install machines anymore.
ASKER
No i didn't not used that. I did a P2V.

Your P2V has left your OS in a state where it is unable to find the boot partition. Sometimes P2V machines may have had a vendor partition or drive. Take a look at your hard disk configuration (edit settings on the virtual machine). If you have say 2 hard drives, they will be addressed at SCSI 0:0 and SCSI 0:1. Try switching them:
make 0:0 into 0:3
make 0:1 into 0:0
make 0:3 into 0:1
If that doesn't do it please supply more information. What type of server did you convert (Dell, HP, IBM, etc.), What OS are you working with. What is your VMware setup? Server? Workstation? ESX(i)? What version of VM - the more information we have the better we can help.
Good Luck
