Cannot open disk (Moved from Windows XP to Win7)

Because a hardware failure I had to buy a new laptop. Using an external HARD drive Bay I could record my VM and copy the folder on my new laptop. After the installation of VMWare server and add my virtual machine, I tried to start it but I failed for the following reason:

Cannot open disk 'D:\Virtual Machines\dev\dev.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: Cannot lock the file.

I already tried to remove the hard disk from the virtual machine and add it again but no luck.

Please I need some advice!

Thank you in advance

Seems that the backup was made VMware Server again looked at the file. If please delete all files *.lck (and folders), then try again.

  • Cannot open pictures transferred from windows 7 to the new laptop with windows 8

    I transferred all my documents on my new computer windows 8. I can open all documents (word, excel, etc.), but no pictures. When I right click on the folder properties they have, it is set read-only. I have UN-click on that and he sends me to another screen to allow the entire folder. They are still not open, and when I go back into the properties, it is back to read-only. All the pictures have the same icon (green background with a frame in white, inside the frame is mountains and a sun... odd)

    Does anyone know how to get back my photos to their normal state?

    Thanks a lot for your answer. I solved the problem... had a friend stop who thought with me. It had to do with the UN checking the properties under display, marked "display only icons, never thumbnails"... who knew these things exist, or how they get checked! Thanks again for the message.

    I stop a virtual machine after a certain time, I tried to power. Its has ended up in the following error message

    Reason: The specified file is not a virtual disk. Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/4d48ad95-ad5e027a-67f4-e41f1360cc9e/Iso/ser01/ser01.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

    In the data store, the file type of the virtual machine is 'file' instead of 'virtual drive '.

    You are missing the file descriptor hard. The xxxx - flat hard is the file that contains the data effectively. But the xxxx.vmdk is missing, which is a text file that connects to the flat file.

  • Cannot open disk ' * hard ' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: One of the parameters is not valid.

    Welcome to the community,

    This virtual machine successfully powered on since July 23?

    To me, it seems that something went wrong with the clichés (I guess they are / were created by a backup application). Due to the size of the files I guess more that snapshots were created and not modified.

    If this is the case, you can delete the virtual machine to inventory, edit the vmx file by

    replacement of

    scsi0:1.filename = LHMU-VIC04_1 - 000004.vmdk

    with

    scsi0:1.filename = LHMU - VIC04_1.vmdk

    then right-click on the vmx file in browser data store and add it to the inventory.

    Before adding it to the inventory, delete the snapshot vmdk files (those with '00000 x' in their file names) as well as the vmsd file. BTW, you can also remove the zdump file if you want.

    If you are not sure if snapshots contain valid data, take a look at the (small) header files vmdk. If the CID and the parentCID match, snapshots were created while the virtual machine has been powered down.

    If you are not sure, please post back before doing anything.

  • Cannot open a new browser window

    I have a few users who have problems connecting to Discoverer on new PCs. They use the Internet Explorerer 8. They are able to get to the login, but when screen connect achieving (or go) they get an error: "cannot open a new browser window. Make sure that you don't have a pop - up disabled for this site".

    Of course the first thing I had to do was disable popups blocker all together. But they still have the error (even when they restart their PC). Other than that, is there something that I miss in how they must configure IE8? I'm personally used to use IE6 at work and do not know much about the setting of configuration for IE8.


    Thank you!

    Check if you have a toolbar (like Yahoo, Google toolbar)
    These toolbars have their own Blocker for pop-up windows.
    You must disable the pop-up blocker also with the blocker IE.

    Thank you

  • Cannot open disk by double-clicking after Windows update

    Cannot open the drives by double clicking

    I use windows 7 and after that windows update today (KB2454826 and KB2419640), impossible to open the drives by clicking twice. However, I can open the discs in a right-click then click "open in a new window.

    I did a full scan.

    Hi Oxbis,
     
        
    1. what happens when you double-click on the HARD drive?

    I suggest you to install the updates one by one on your computer in a clean boot state, and check if the problem reappears.

    Download and save the Setup on your desktop package and try to install the same one by one and check what update is causing the problem.

    To do this, you must enter the number of the Windows Update in the search field in the link provided below.
