I did not install the VMware tools as part of the clone. I will try that now.
You'll need the tools to install the correct drivers for the relevant controller.

I just created a new VM enabling the "Install VMware Tools" but get the same error. Down at the bottom of the VM, it states I need to be logged into the guest operating system to install the tools.
Can you oultine the process you are using and the VMware Convertor version??
I've just tried on one of our systems here with the Cold Clone CD and it failed with the error you mentioned. I used Convertor 5 and cloned that way and it was fine. This was however a hot clone.

1) Run VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client v5.0.0
2) Convert Machine
3) Source - Powered on machine (this local machine)
4) Destination Workstation or other VMware virtual machine
5) VMware Player 4.0.x (VMware Player I am using is version 5 but that is not an option in the converter tool)
6) Next, next, Finish

Have you tried setting the BUS controller to IDE?? Where do I do that?
Are you coming from a raid setup at the moment?? No
The driver currently in use in the OS, is wrong for the storage controller present in the VM. How do I fix this?

In the device options when running the convertor.

When I go to Devices -> Edit -> Other I see Disk Controller. Both times I have tried to virtualize, it has been set to Auto Select.
The drop down options are IDE or SCSI LSI Logic SAS.
I will try again with the IDE setting.

I have created a new VM with IDE setting but get the same BSOD. I will create another one with SCSI LSI

Creating a VM with SCSI LSI worked. Thanks for everyone's help.
I had this issue with a server and it wasn't until i done everything default that it would work.
