VMware vCenter Converter and Blue Screen Stop 0x7b

When I migrate to new PC hardware I usually virtualize the existing hardware - just in case I've missed something. While using VMware vCenter Converter 4.3.0 I had trouble getting my virtualized "old" Dell Notebook running XP Prof. to start: Blue Screen, Stop 0x7b. The solution: Choose the SCSI Bus Logic Controller in the Converter (instead of the default IDE) ... Obviously this was the default in older versions of the converter but, hey, life would be less interesting without such "improvements" ... ;)
