P2V a PC booting from IDE Primary slave

$

I need to convert (p2v) a Windows XP based PC with an unusual HW configuration.

The PC have 2 HD configured as IDE Primary master and IDE primary slave.

The PC boots from the IDE Primary slave and the IDE Primary master contains 2 data partitions.

While starting converter I ask to convert both disks, to reconfigure the PC and to install VMware Tools.

The conversion process looks to work fine till a message saying that the system disk cannot be located.

The resulting VM starts (after telling the BIOS to boot the IDE primary slave) but I get a BSOD as the disk is unreadable, I presume because some VMware driver is missing.

How can I tell Converter that the system disk is the IDE Primary slave?

Have anybody faced a similar problem?

Regards

marius
