Question : P2V - Windows XP cursor on boot

I ran vmware convertor on a windows xp sp3 pro box, and converted fine. I tried booting it up using a ESXi and ESX host 4.0 and all I get in the console windows is a black screen with a blinking cursor.

I tried following this article however there is no burnmemory switch in the boot.ini file. Any ideas?

OK...it looks like that thread is regarding the same suggestion I was referencing (SCSI). Here is another EE post (recent) that I assisted on and the solution that was found:

And, if those fail, you can also try vConverter from Vizioncore:
