Vmware converter vista wont boot

All rights reserved. Covered by US Patent. Come for the solution, stay for everything else. Welcome to our community! Built up the server using go. I created a virtual machine and installed Windows Server on it and that functions just fine. I then used VMware converter to copy from a stand alone server to virtual. There were no errors when using the converter to create the virtual server. When I power up that server, I just get a black screen. Suggestions please?

Note: about "BCD" - If the computer is simple with 1 drive and 1 partition, your BCD should not be messed up so I suggest dont waste time with that unless you for sure think it got messed up.

Also it would give different errors and error out different places in the boot process. If you see the graphical progress bar, its not that. Sign up to join this community.
