Can I extract files from a WinXP VM that does not start?

Short: one of our virtual machines seems to be damaged and will not start. Is it possible to extract the virtual machine files that were left in the Windows environment, without having to start the virtual machine?

The long: the error refers to "Windows XP Professional - s002.vmdk. These trust seem to be within the content of the packaging of the virtual machine. What I find unusual, is that this particular virtual machine has about 21 files hard, while our other VM have only 1. No idea why this particular facility chose to break the virtual machine in as many files?

Our default installation is to have all files created within the virtual machine that is stored in a shared folder on the host computer, but this particular user left some important data on the desktop, that is why we are so eager to get it back before blowing away from the virtual machine and install a new one. (Or can it be repaired?)

Help is appreciated. Thank you!

Take a look on HOWTO: ask (and answer) Questions as a reference to the type of information you should expect, when a help request.

If you use the Fusion 2.x, then take a look at: VMware Fusion (menu bar) > help > VMware Fusion help > managing Virtual Machines > VMDKMounter help to mount a ramdisk as a Mac Volume Note: this should be done with the Virtual Machine to stop, not suspended and merger closed and if VMDKMounter up successfully you will not be informed, and a white player titled Untitled icon should appear on your office.

About VHDs monolithic vs Split Virtual Hard Drives by default under Fusion 1.x is monolithic and under Fusion 2.x it is divided, but the user can certainly replace the default values and to explain why, but the rest are monolithic while a split which would be absolutely taxable because aside from the fact that you have not presented any technical to analyze information I'm not sure you could in this case and there are something only the user who created each virtual Machine can answer as to what it has done.  If you want that the split to be monolithic, it can be changed.

In any case regarding it repairable, if possible, however without knowing what is the exact error and or looking for a files .log for the target Machine virtual still not enough technical information has been presented.  Take a look at: collecting information for VMware Fusion

    I met this BSOD error several times, and the following fix usually (not always) allows the hard disk to be read by the system...

    -Boot your system and access the BIOS Setup
    -It will vary with different systems, but try to press "F2", "F10" or "delete".
    -If you need help with this step, let me know the model of the system, and I'll see what I can come up with
    -In the configuration of the BIOS, looking something like "Device Boot Configuration"
    -Go to the hard disk configuration and change the current option
    -Here are the most common options that I can think of:
    -SATA IDE, AHCI, (newer systems have more options, such as IRRT)
    -If the current option is "SATA", change it to "AHCI" or "IDE".
    -If the current option is 'DCIS', change it to "IDE", etc...

    It's just a quick run through a possible fix, without knowing the details of your system!  If you need more detailed help, I would like to know the details of the system, and we'll see what we can do!

  • On my iPad, can I move files from one folder to another, but not in the Preview file, why?

    When you manage files in iCloud, from an iPad, I can move to the files from one folder to another, but not in the Preview file. Secondly, when I check the file Preview to iCloud from Mac content is so different when you look at an iPad. Why is the gap between the iPad and the Mac?

    Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Looks like the JSON file which poses problem. You can disable the spritesheet option in settings of publication, and then your multiple bitmap files can operate locally as well.

    Regarding Javascript errors, those that are produced inside the code CreateJS, you wouldn't want to be messing around with it! They are only security errors, or the consequence of something that does not not due to security restrictions. You will not get the errors when files are online, or if you can disable the sprite sheets, I suspect.

  • [SOLVED] Backup Windows 7 gives an error message 'file ignored' for a subfolder that does not exist in Documents

    I am running with "Backup and Restore" backups in Windows 7 Professional and constantly get this error in the logs:

    Backup has encountered a problem during the practical C:\Users\Tim\Documents\Blender file backup. Error: (the system cannot find the specified file. (0 x 80070002))
    "Practical Blender" is a folder I previously removed documents and backup should not be looking for it. I tried to remove the job from the scheduled backup with Windows Task Scheduler and create and execute a new backup job, but the problem goes away. It is only this specific file gives me this problem. I deleted the other folders of Documents before and since it was started without any problem of backup.

    Is it possible that I can stop backup to find this file that does not exist?

    What happens when you recreate this folder?

  • Moving video files from digital camera, date taken does not save

    On Win7 Pro I'm having a problem where when I move the files from my digital camera Canon or my Sony digital camcorder to HDD the date taken on the videos aren't save. It defines at the time I moved the hard disk instead. It comes to all the dates in the properties.

    It's only when I copy the video files keep everything file photo.

    This happens when I copy files directly from the camera or the SD card

    All the files on the camera are correct but none of those on the hard drive.

    Ok. I had trouble to transfer photos from my old computer to my new computer.  The dates and times on the pictures changed.

    I finally got the moved and kept the correct dates on each photo.

    That's what I did:

    1. I opened the 'Pictures' folder on the old computer and click on "Select all" under the tab 'Edit' at the top.

    2. then I went to the "Edit" tab and choose "move to folder".

    3. in the next window, called '' Elements to move, '' I found the file that I wanted to move the photos to and selected this folder and then clicked on "move".

    4. all photos have been transferred to the new computer with the date and time correct.

    5. However, this deletes all photos from the old computer.  But I do not really need them on the old computer since I will be recycling with Dell.

    We sincerely hope that this information helps someone else, since I had a hard time finding how to do this task.

    Good luck.

  • Computer laptop Lenovo 3000 N200 that does not start as a system file is missing or damaged:

    «I have a laptop Lenovo 3000 N200 that won't start as "" Windows has no start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "»»

    Rescue and Recovery Tools will allow me to restore the hard drive to factory settings, but I prefer to back up important data first. Rescue and recovery apparently allow backup and pays the appropriate folder / structure of files, but the "Start" option is grayed out.

    Then I tried to boot from Windows XP CD but it signals that it has no hard drive, although Rescue and Recovery can apparently go to folder/file structure.

    I recently got a desktop computer. It's an hp with Microsoft Windows XP. I don't understand not brand-new, but it worked when I got it. My children decided to "help" with a cd of one day and he has not worked since. It is not simply turn and nothing shows up on the screen as if I never put anything in the drive. I tried to open a file manually, but he just told me to insert a disk in drive D. When I close the door, it flashes twice, then nothing happens and it is completely silent. I'd appreciate any help.

    Sounds as if the reader does not, replace it and see what happens.

  • How can I fix computer that does not start after the fan turns phase?

    I have a Compaq Presario SR5510F PC, Windows Vista Home Premium, AMD Athlon x 2. Lately, my computer is even worse at the start. When my computer starts, the fan should run for a few seconds, then it should stop and lead at the start with Compaq logo screen. But lately, the startup was completely terrible for my computer. Today, most of the time when I press the button in the box of the computer, the fan turns on and it continues to turn, and nothing comes on the screen. It isn't that rarely when the fan stops running, but then the monitor displays always upwards in white and VERY rarely when the startup screen appears, then it freezes on this screen. At this rate, my computer is totally useless when it does nothing but run his fan. This means that I can not go to boot options at all and go to the "last good configuration". What can I do to fix the computer when I can't have anything with her while she is empty?

    It sounds like a hardware problem, not a software problem.  If the computer rarely gets past the BIOS (material audit) stage of the startup sequence, then Windows is is not yet involved in the boot process again.  Request assistance from someone trained in the skills of troubleshooting hardware since this can become very expensive very quickly.
