  • Could not open the vmdk disk or one of the snapshot disks it depends on

    I upgraded vmware fusion 1.x to 2.08, because I was getting the message

    Cannot open disk - hard or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

    Reason: Cannot lock the file.

    So I thought that would fix it, but it didn't. I can't figure out how to fix it either. At home, I'm a PC user and use VMware player, but at work, we use Mac OS X and the merger.

  • VMDKMounter gets error "could not open the virtual disk.

    I have two Win7 x 64 virtual machines running fine with VMware Fusion 4.1.2.  I installed VMDKMounter from VMware 3.1.3 and OSXFuse 2.3.9.  I can ride one of the files hard with VMDKMounter very well, but others told "Cannot open the virtual disk" when I try to mount it.

    8 June 14:43:27 hoth [0 x 0-0xe50e5].com.vmware.vmdkmounter [2394]: could not parse the instant string ' / Users/finchr/Documents/VirtualMachines.localized/hoth.univ.dir.wwu.edu.vmwarevm/hoth.univ.dir.wwu.edu.vmx '. 8 June 14:43:27 hoth [0 x 0-0xe50e5].com.vmware.vmdkmounter [2394]: will not be able to take an informed decision, based on partial information. 8 June 14:43:27 hoth [0 x 0-0xe50e5].com.vmware.vmdkmounter [2394]: mount the drive read-only instead. 8 June 14:43:27 hoth [0 x 0-0xe50e5].com.vmware.vmdkmounter [2394]: failed to open the disc: disc encoding error (261993021117)

    The virtual machine that VMDKMounter fails to mount was created by VMware vCenter Converter 5.0 of a physical machine.  The virtual machine that works was created in VMware Fusion 4.

    Of course, the hard I really want to ride with VMDKMounter is he who fails.  No idea how to make so that he can get?

    Well, I see nothing in the disc DescriptorFile which prevents the hard mounted.

    So right now, you can mount other hard files, but not this one, then I have two suggestions...

    It would be to use vmware-vdiskmanager to create a new hard that will not go up and the other would create a new empty hard, then add it to a virtual machine, as well as one that will not go up and then start with appropriate optical disk or an ISO Image containing the appropriate tools/utilities in order to image the drive to the new empty.  I usually use Symantec Norton Ghost for operations like this.  Then maybe a new mounts with VMDKMounter.

  • Satellite U405 - S2833 Fingerprint error: could not open the sensor

    Hello, I am very new to the forums so I apologize in advance if I don't give all the necessary accurate information in this thread.

    I have a Toshiba U405-S2833 and it came with the TrueSuite Access Fingerprint Software.

    I downloaded an update a few days ago, but I don't remember if it's for Vista or Toshiba. Since then, my fingerprints were all removed from the system, and when I try re - save, I get this error message "error: could not open the sensor" I can't find the material to fix the sensor manually without going through the TrueSuite software.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I am also having the same problem.

    My boss uses a Satellite U405-2628 fingerprinting and with the sensor TrueSuite Access Manager. It worked fine, then I updated windows and it has stopped working. I was on the updates and noticed an update of TrueSuite and thought that maybe that was messed up things.

    Then there were other issues that went past me locked out of the machine (anti-virus and loss of relationship with the field... also my fault). So I decided to wipe the machine and install fresh Vista.

    I installed everything but the TrueSuite software still not able to open the sensor. After hitting my head on it, I decided enough was enough and I restored it using Toshiba recovery disks.

    It took a few hours and here I am logged in as administrator and the TrueSuite software still cannot open the sensor. I don't know what I can do, since it is to return to the factory settings.

    As the above poster said, HELP!

    Thank you.

    ... a little later...

    Well, I managed to do work, and this can be useful for some people out there since I found no easy answers. I can't guarantee anything, and it's really complicated... so here go us.

    First, I downloaded the latest update from Toshiba (util_fingerprint_27460A.exe) and nothing has worked.
    Then I uninstalled the sensor since (click right, uninstalled) Device Manager to uninstall the driver as well (it should invite you to do so)
    Then, still in the Device Manager, I scanned for new hardware and it came with my sensor. I said to look for drivers and when he could not find, I think it gave me an option for windows search for an answer... or something like that. He came back with a link to Authentec (www.authentec.com/win7update/w7wbf32.exe, I think). So I downloaded that and installed. He rose through the device under "Biometric devices" then before... I think it's under the "Personall security device" or something like that. But alas, still no luck. So I uninstalled all the device from the Device Manager (taking care of uninstalling the driver as well) and of the TrueSuite software. Then came the break I was looking for.

    Online research I came across this page... http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?action=download&driverid=1194755. I had the chance before to DriverGuide.com so I thought what the heck. It is a driver of HP for the same sensor and it is dated 2006. So I downloaded and installed. Still nothing...

    Disgusted, I thought, well let's try to install util_fingerprint_27460A.exe on top of that. So I did, restarted and I couldn't believe my eyes when he said to connect and register fingerprints not seriously. And so I did. I hope this helps people, I don't really know how the sensor I so messed up, but I'm glad it worked.

    Yet one thing... and this may be important. When I took TrueSuite first after doing all this, he told me that the storage of fingerprints was full... or something in that sense. So I clicked the button remove all traces of fingers button and it I would like to register my fingerprints. I'm starting to wonder if that was all I had to do in the first place... Guess I'll never know.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite U300 PSU3DA: error: could not open the file attribute execution of concept maps

    I have a PSU3DA-U300 which I changed from Vista to XP.
    This is because my main computer use will be for navigation (boat) and I was told that most navigation programs will work better with XP. I have almost nothing on my laptop so far, and the system already seems to be slow and freezing too often.

    My question is now on the program of concept maps which I just installed and which does not open. He repeats to me "Eorror: could not open the file attribute.

    What does that mean? I uninstall and reinstall the program, and he comes back with this message.
    I had a glance at the Device Manager, and the only thing that seems incorrect is the PCI memory controller.
    I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?

    Would this be a cause of C-Maps program does not?

    Thanks in advance.

    > I did a bit of research on this and it seems that this driver is not required for XP? Is this true?
    Where did you read this info?
    I put t know if the driver is not required, but you get all the drivers on the Toshiba site.

    For your problem with concept maps, I think that it is best to contact you that support the conceptual maps. Here, this is a forum for Toshiba laptops.

  • JavaLoader error: could not open the file

    I developed a small application and I'm trying to install it in my camera (Curve 8900) using the javaloader. I used Blackberry plugin for eclipse to develop my app and it works very well in the Simulator. I got the shape of keys BB to sign the application and all of the APIs are now signed.  the javaloader that I use is the one in the eclipse installation folder:

    C:\eclipse clasic\plugins\net.rim.ejde.componentpack4.2.1_4.2.1.19\components\bin

    I use this version because I used to develop the small JRE 4.2.1 application in eclipse.

    and the command is: javaloader.exe u load myapp.cod

    I get just the error: error: could not open the file and nothing is copied to the device.

    The connection is good because I am able to see the device help info: javaloader-u deviceinfo

    I have just the knowledge base on the development for BB and it's my first show stopper...
