  Hi JosephR,

  In some other threads that I saw about problems with this particular update, the problem has been resolved with one of two things.

  First of all, I suggest you reset your Windows Components update.  Please take a look at the article below with the Fixit to do it for you:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  If this does not help, the issue could also be caused by a rootkit on your system.  Please take a look at the similar thread below where the poster was able to resolve the problem through Taupo Tech by removing the rootkit:

• Immediate error prealloue expandable disk conversion

  To cause the crash I gave an incomplete descriptorfile:
  (Incomplete - well after my own definitions at least - I don't know that if a minimum vmdk descriptor syntax should work with WS 12 has already been documented?
  Anyway - I guess you have to set

  version = 1

  CID = fffffffe

  parentCID = ffffffff

  createType = "VMFS".

  RW 292970496 VMFS "monolithicflat - flat hard."

  ddb.adapterType = "free".
  to be considered as minimal, but valid descriptor for a conversion action. Here, I get a crash if I set only

  version = 1

  CID = fffffffe

  parentCID = ffffffff

  createType = "VMFS".

  RW 292970496 VMFS "monolithicflat - flat hard."

  So it seems that vdiskmanager did not expect to ever see descriptorfiles that don't NOT definde ddb.adapter.
  It can handle a bad value as ddb.adapterType = "aunt-dorothies-favorite-sausage" with a useful error - but the parameter should be set.
  Doesn't really matter if - almost all of the descriptors automatically created should work - manual changes would be the only reason for which I could imagine as a possible reason...

  Maybe your problem is caused by the same similar thing? -fix would be easy to verify anyway.

  # Disk DescriptorFile

  version = 1

  #encoding = "windows-1252".

  CID = fffffffe

  parentCID = ffffffff

  createType = "VMFS".

  # Description of the measure

  RW 292970496 VMFS "monolithicflat - flat hard."

  # The database disk

  #DDB

  #ddb.adapterType = "free".

  #ddb.geometry.cylinders = "18236.

  #ddb.geometry.heads = "255".

  #ddb.geometry.sectors = "63".

  #ddb.virtualHWVersion = "10".

  Red vmdk descriptor crashes with core dump - blue descriptor works.

  # Disk DescriptorFile

  version = 1

  #encoding = "windows-1252".

  CID = fffffffe

  parentCID = ffffffff

  createType = "VMFS".

  # Description of the measure

  RW 292970496 VMFS "monolithicflat - flat hard."

  # The database disk

  #DDB

  ddb.adapterType = "free".

  #ddb.geometry.cylinders = "18236.

  #ddb.geometry.heads = "255".

  #ddb.geometry.sectors = "63".

  #ddb.virtualHWVersion = "10".

  Don't be surprised - I commented several ddb.parameters - for conversion, they aren't necessary, and I wanted to exclude no side effects using the smallest valid selection.

• Error during resizing of vmdk in VMWare Fusion 3.1.1

  I have a Windows 7 virtual machine that had a 20 GB, designated as the single disk vmdk. I wanted to resize to 40 GB so I stop the machine, went

  for the parameters of the virtual machine and set the new size (with the disk to preallocate space / split into 2GB files on options).

  During resizing a popup of error is displayed with the following message:

  The called function can only be performed on partial strings. Please open the virtual disk parent.

  Once this message, the drive no longer appears in the settings of the virtual machine; If I try to re add the vmdk file, VMWare simply hangs after selecting it in the open file dialog box.

  I tried to check the disk with the following command:

  /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/vmware-vdiskmanager -R seven.vmdk 
  No errors were found on the virtual disk, 'seven.vmdk'.
  

  If I try to clone the drive, I get this error:

  $ /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/vmware-vdiskmanager -r seven.vmdk -t 0 seven2.vmdk
  Creating disk '/Volumes/ScratchMyBak/Users/fabiocorneti/seven2.vmdk'
  Failed to convert disk: The called function cannot be performed on partial chains. Please open the parent virtual disk (0x500003e83).

  Is it possible to fix the vmdk?

  Sorry I had not had my coffee yet and missed the following...

  The next section in the original seven.vmdk file looked like at...

  # Disk DescriptorFile
  version=1
  encoding="UTF-8"
  CID=00000000
  parentCID=00000000
  isNativeSnapshot="no"
  createType="twoGbMaxExtentSparse"
  

  It should have looked like...

  # Disk DescriptorFile
  version=1
  encoding="UTF-8"
  CID=fffffffe
  parentCID=ffffffff
  isNativeSnapshot="no"
  createType="twoGbMaxExtentFlat"
  

  Try the new version of the attached file seven.vmdk.
