Corrupt VMs after power outage during the moved file

Hi all, hope someone can help me here. I have a server ESXi 5 run here at home I play with. My Web server and some other vms for development are hosted here. Today, I bought a new hard drive of the server. I have all closed, open the folder, hooked up the reader. Booted back and made the new drive (2 TB), a data store. Then I went into the store of data browser for the old data store and clicked on each VM folder, and click the button "move to". I chose the new data store and copy. Naturally, he said it would take SEVERAL hours. I let it go. Well apparently I doesn't not hang all tight and while doing other work at the office, I struck the loose power and the system went down during the move. When I started back I couldn't use virtual machines. They have all said inaccessible!

I tried to copy the files to the original location, but then esx complains that the vmdk is not a valid file. Is it possible to retrieve one of these virtual machines, or do I have to discard and start again? Please tell me there is a way to get back!

I'm afraid there is not much you can do, except a call open with VMware to see if they have a chance or a tool to retrieve the Basic virtual disk file.

In the log file, there are these two lines:

2011 10-28 T 04: 01:31.886Z | VMX | DISKLIB-VMFS: VmfsExtentCommonOpen: as much as possible truncation (?) realSize is 1294136, descriptor size 1258291200.
2011 10-28 T 04: 01:31.887Z | VMX | DISKLIB-VMFS: ' / vmfs/volumes/4e5c1292-e5c44add-2e76-000ffec5d18d/epitomeV/epitomeV-flat.vmdk ': cannot open (the specified file is not a virtual disk): measurement size in the file descriptor larger than actual size. Type 3

which basically says the vmdk of base/flat has been corrupted. (For size of file in bytes, you must multiply the dimensions indicated with 512)

Other VMware call, you could create a new virtual disk and restore your last backup data.

What I can do. Thank you

    Hello

    You did it of any material changes or software on the computer before this problem?

    You can connect the monitor to a different display port or connect another monitor if possible and check if it works very well.

    If the monitor is right, it implies that there is a problem with the graphics card or motherboard. In this scenario, I recommend you contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.

    Hope the helps of information.

    I can tell you how to make bootable disks, but you already have a disk.

    He has changed since good means of XP repair install from disk by booting from it.

    I would add that info to disk Bootable repair, just in case your DVD is a factory of one computer.

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

    It's Vista only repair installation option these days.
    It must be switched on!
    Not much use, is it!

    Good luck with it.

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

    Download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Above information shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is a fix to resolve the specific problem, but I'm afraid it is only available for earlier operating systems under OS X 10.5 and 10.6, Windows XP, Vista or 7.

    I you suggest to get a computer with any operating system supported, install the latest version of the software on the HP site using a USB and then follow the steps.
