How to convert VMware SCSI .vmdk to IDE .vmdk

I have converted my win2000 PC into VMWare SCSI .vmdk, but some software on win2000 need to read the harddisk's serial num, and I can't change the VMWare's SCSI harddisk num, I have to change the SCSI .vmdk to IDE .vmdk.

Tried some methods from internet, but didn't work on the latest VMware player.

Finally I found an easy way to do it.


User the VMWare converter standalone, convert the .vmdk, set the destination as IDE, after completed, the new .vmdk is IDE , and you can change the harddisk's serial num.
