Assume this one is a CD?

It probably should be picking this up as the hard disk.  However
there's a missing ide0:0.deviceType field.  See the code here:

https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v/blob/ab825d5e13b2106a1f39300ec2ee75d1815c4fae/v2v/input_vmx.ml#L143

Is this a VMX file from a VMware system, and what kind of
VMware system?

Anyway you can probably make it work by adding:

ide0:0.deviceType = "ata-hardDisk"

although it's a bit of a mystery why that attribute is missing.  I
notice the SCSI (CD?) also lacks the expected deviceType.

Rich.
