a VMDK file is not recognized as vmdk file in esxi

For some reason strange esxi is not recognizing my vmdk format vmdk file. He sees it only as a normal file. And when I try to turn on the virtual machine, I get an error indicating that the vmdk file is not a valid file.

It seems that you (or someone else) changed the header vmdk file manually. Otherwise it would not exist a file 'vmdk.old '.

Go to the command line (on the console or ssh) and check that the content of the header vmdk file is correct. If you need help, please send the header as well as the file ".old" file to see what has changed.

  • During extraction of zip in XP files, some files display in a format not recognized?

    Hello, I downloaded a few files mp3 audio from a Web site, and they were in zip format. Most of the albums was fine when I used extract all option that would create new folders with the audio files in mp3 format. However, it retrieves all the option used on some of the albums would produce files with the files in a format not recognized. It's strange because the files in the zip folder are the custom mp3 file but those extracted from this same exact issue was not mp3 but not counted. If the original is fine but the extract is not made me think of the windows zip extraction utility could not open some types of zip even if others on the same site have successfully. Have you any suggestions on any program I can use to solve this problem I already paid for them and can't re-download the original download was "successful." The support team of the company I bought thiese maybe not very tech savvy.
