IDE vs. SCSI, perhaps?
I got the same error when I tried to run a VM using a VMDK of Win2K (all this under Linux).
I *think* the problem is that for NT-based OS's, VMware defaults to a SCSI disk rather than an IDE one. My suspicision (without checking the docs) is that VirtualBox can only correctly handle IDE VMDK's.

Fix: new IDE vmdk
