VM Converter

After converting the physical to Virtual machine, some devices can't be identified on the VM. Does anyone have this experience and is it possible to identify and fix it ? The unidentified hardware include Base System Device, communication port, etc...

Have you installed vmware tools? normally this takes care of this problem. I would also try to update the drivers on the hardware.

Also, if you had a static-assigned IP, you may need to re-add it in the Network settings.
