• Error: "cannot open the file 'E:\NSP2010\NSP2010drive2.vmdk': one of the disks in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or a snapshot."

  Hello community.

  I use my guest for a while; whenever I needed to reboot the host, I would shut down the comments (in this case Win2008R2).

  The last time that I suspended the guest rather than stop it. Now when I try to start, I get this error.

  I've seen people having this error on the forums, but proposed solutions don't resolve my problem.

  I don't know what I have to join in order to diagnose this problem, but it will be a pleasure to do, if someone does.

• Cannot open the disk could not be locked the file

  Error when you try to share a drive between two virtual machines.  I have two web servers VM and a disk shared data, each web server has 20 GB for operating system disks, and they share a 500 GB drive for data.  I use clustered OCFS2 file system later.

  See the 500 GB drive, but when we turn on the two VM the second throws the following error:

  "An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM Myweb1.

  Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/MyWeb1/MWeb1.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  Cannot lock the file.

  I've read about this error before but can't find where and understand that it's either because I don't set them up right to start with, or that there is some extra config I can do in the s flat *.vmx file?

  Here's what we did when creating virtual machines and a shared disk, is there something missing

  Create 2 new virtual machines for Web servers with disks of 40GB of basis for the operating system and then add a new hard drive to one of the virtual machines in vSphere BUT must be correctly configured for sharing between multiple virtual machines.

  For example, to change the settings > Add > hard drive > create a new virtual disk > choose size and choose 'Thick eager disposition to zero' > under 'Virtual Device Node' choose a "SCSI (1:0)" then finish.

  Once the drive has been zero there would stay out in 'Change settings' > click new controller SCSI 1 and choose virtual disks 'Physical' can be shared between virtual machines on any server.

  Change the settings of the 2nd virtual machine and choose Add hard drive, choose existing, navigate to which you have created the VM 1 drive, make sure you assign it the same SCSI (1:0).

  Thanks a lot a lot a lot for any help in advance

  Did you also step on 2 VM below

  After the disc has been zero go back outside to 'Change settings' > click new controller SCSI 1 and choose virtual disks 'Physical' can be shared between virtual machines on any server.

• Trying to fix a CID parent access to a file descriptor of delta but VM still does not start. Other error "cannot open the disk...". The specified file is not a virtual disk.

  Starting the virtual machine has been tried several times earlier when I received the error message to tell the parent disk had been changed since the child was created. I looked at the resolution and had a go at fixing.

  I downloaded the vmdk files to find the problematic descriptor file it corrected and then download the a back fixed to the data store. I then removed the VM of the inventory and then re he added before attempting to start it. He says now the specified file is not a virtual disk. Unfortunately, I didn't know that he was still working on a snapshot file and had been for some time. It was a former VM test that I had played a little bit with all learning on VMware, but unfortunately he had a few files on it which is no longer, I have backup ups for and I could really do with recovery of them! The base file and delta file are always on display in the data store and I can re - use the base file in a new virtual machine but I need the data from the snapshot if possible file. Not sure if it can be manually engaged at the base (I have a copy of). I'm new to this depth of troubleshooting and according to research I realize it is a great chance, the data is not recoverable. Having said that if there is no hope at all then I would try or at least have someone who knows what they're doing a go help before you tell me everything is lost! I'm not really bothered to get the virtual machine running again, but must be able to copy some files in the C drive.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Craig

  I can't tell you if the data in the virtual drive itself can be retrieved by the attached hard file. However, it seems that you have used an editor who added a BOM (Byte-Order-Mark) at the beginning of the file, which made her an invalid for ESXi.

• Cannot open the folder of IMAGES on SONY NWZ - E383 Walkman using Windows Explorer.

  I loaded several songs, videos and photos on the Walkman NWZ-E383.

  The PICTURES folder has become inaccessible to Windows Explorer (cannot open to add or remove photos).

  Any ideas?

  Joffrey:

  I tried your suggestion, but I am still unable to access the folder IMAGES using Windows Explorer.

  The progress bar green in Windows Explorer at the top never quite reaches the right side.

  MUSIC and VIDEO files work fine.

  I even tried pressing the RESET button at the back of the Walkman, without success.

  What other ideas can you suggest?

  Thank you.

• Cannot open the default audio device: a device ID has been used that is out of range of your system. Sound will be disconnected.

  I get the error in the title with a host Windows 7 x 64 Workstation 7.1.3 and an Ubuntu guest.

  I did a sound material change on the host today (audio embedded used instead of the USB sound card), but sound works perfectly well on the host computer.

  I had the same problem as well. I have a host 64-bit windows 7 and the quest of Ubuntu running on VMware Workstation 6.5.

  

  After playing with the settings a bit, that's how I managed to do the work. In Ubuntu, open sound preferences:

  

  In the Hardware tab, my profile was set to 'analog stereo Duplex. I changed it to "Analog stereo output" and everything has been resolved. I was able to connect the sound card!

• use a hard file as a shared disk between two vm

  Hi guys,.

  I wanted to know if there is a possible way to create a hard file as a shared disk between two virtual machines.

  That's my idea:

  I want to create a mscluster between two vm one before I need to a shared disk - I don't want to use the external storage, so I thought that maybe there is a way to use a file hard like a disk storage shared "external".

  Is it possible to do this? If there is, I enjoy an explanation how to do that.

  Thank you very much

  Martin.

• recover my system. used to install Windows Vista. get the message cannot open the file E:\Sources\Install.wim. Also the code error 0 x 80070002

  So all this started because I tried to clean my computer to give to a friend. I tried refomatting the hard drive, but something was wrong here. After that, when I turn on the computer I get a black screen with message Bootmgr missing. I read a little inside and saw that I could download a Windows Vista recovery disk because my computer did not come with one.
  After that I downloaded and burned the ISO image to a CD, things started looking better. I got to the screen when you select the language and keyboard. Then install windows screen. My options there were 'Install now' and 'repair your computer '. When I try to install, I put in my product key that seems fine. The next message I get is "Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0 x 80070002.
  When I try to repair, he said "select an operating system to repair, and then click Next."

  If you do not see your operating system listed, click on load drivers to load the drivers for your hard drives. I try to select Windows Vista retrieved and clicked Next, but what is said "this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows that you want to repair" or get a recovery of tools such as repair system, System Restore, complete pc windows, tool windows and command promy memory diagnostic restoration. the only problem is he says operatins system: (unknown) unknown local disk...

  This isn't an installation disc. It's a record of startup repair!

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11; Acer is in some models Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Cannot open any office files or icons, the Panel even not. Help!

  Hello
  I really need help desperately. I can't open any office files or icons. I restored to the point the closest that I can, but no difference. Cannot open the Panel even from the Start button. My compuetr crashes every time I double-click or right-click on the icon 'My Computer' or 'My Documents '.
  My restore CD that was shipped with the Toshiba Satellite 1800 does not work either. Help, please! I'm really desperate!
  Jess

  What do you think average with "I tried with the restore CD but nothing '? Have you tried to completely format your HARD drive? I had a similar problem, but in my case it was because of the transplant of BONE... so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
  If you can not solve this problem with the cd supplied by the factory... I think it might be a hardware problem, probably due to the HARD drive. Your HARD drive makes strange noises, like "Click - Clack"?

  Good bye

• Cannot open the file resource user interface
