  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.

  The machine was working fine before the closure.

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

  Help, please

  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.

• Error: the specified file is not a virtual disk

  After working flawlessly for months, something went haywire today and my next attempt to access my VM Fusion has been met with "the specified file is not a virtual disk.  I followed a number of proposed solutions here and on the support without result page.

  A question I have is it makes sense that my hard file is 1 KB in size and the text in TextEdit is gibberish (compared to, say, my .vmx file denominated in English for the most part)?  The last update for my performed hard at 12:33 today, where many of the other files (including files hard # s 21) have been updated at 14:52.  Is it possible that my hard file is corrupted?  If so, can it be rebuilt if I don't have a backup?

  If you don't have a good copy of the file to replace the one damaged with "Windows XP Pro.vmdk" then use attached which was created from information in the vmware.log file provided in the .tgz support group.

  The attached file "Windows_XP_Pro.vmdk.zip" contains a "Windows XP Pro.vmdk" file to replace the one damaged.

• How to resolve the error "the specified file is not a virtual disk?

  Hello - I have a ubuntu/linux host running vmware 1.08 with a SBS2003 VM that recently ran out of physical space in HD. After adding a new drive hard I know to get a specified file is not a virtual disk on one disk error I try to add - the other 3 work. After looking around here, I checked the file descriptor and it seems in good condition.

  My paper does not help because I can not start the virtual machine with the hard drive, I need.

  What are some solutions that I can try?

  Thanks for any help!

  Unfortunately, you lost the data of zero bytes hard snapshot files. I hope that you don't have a backup of your data, since the snapshot was created in January!

  To be able to feed the virtual machine - even with the disk data corruption - replace zero files hard bytes per who has 327680 bytes, which is essentially an empty file with only the metadata.

  PS: as mentioned earlier, please save the files until you turn on the virtual computer to be able to return to the current status in case you should!

• "The specified file is not a virtual disk" Please someone help, very URGENT

  Dear members,

  Yesterday the electricity of night exploded, so my PC crashed. Today when I tried to open my virtual computer (Workstation 8), it says error: "the specified file is not a virtual disk.

  Tried to do a lot a lot of things that I found online. Nothing has worked yet. My head is about to explode, because I had the very important company data on this machine.

  If someone could provide a working solution, I could pay.

  Please help me!

  Thank you very much, I'm so desperate.

  Attached is some useful info, such as my iii and vmdk, etc files. PNG for the image of the full file in the directory of the virtual machine list.

  On the screen, it seems that you have lost SERVER - s014.vmdk (zero bytes). You can try to replace this file with a hard clean/empty file (for example a copy of the SERVER - s010.vmdk) to see if this allows the access card to the virtual disk again. However, first save all files of the virtual machine to ensure you can return to the current state. At least create a snapshot after you replaced the hard file.

  According to the blocks of data previously stored in this file, you may have lost up to 2 GB of data.

• VM Workstation V9 "the specified file is not a virtual disk.

  I use 9 Workstation and run all my virtual machines from an external hard drive.   When I open two of my most often used VM "hard drive" in the devices section is empty and when I try to start the virtual machine, it gives me the error "the specified file is not a virtual disk.

  It looks like all of my hard are present and represent.

  Any ideas why the 'Hard drive' field is empty?

  

  Thank you for all the ideas.

  The following extensions are of length zero and why you get the error message.

  "Windows XP Professional SP3-cl1-s001.vmdk"
  "Windows XP Professional SP3-cl1-s020.vmdk"
  "Windows XP Professional SP3-cl1-s038.vmdk"
  

  The only thing you can try is to copy an empty measure (binary hard), which has a 320 KB on the behalf of the extent of the lack and then try to ride it to retrieve all user data may need/want to recover.  That said, the probability of it being viable virtual hard drive to function as a VM with the first binary measure missing and now replaced is generally thin at best.  If you have a backup of the virtual machine then copying scopes missing backup is also an option.

• 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.

• Resumption of the Suspended virtual machine does not work, "the specified file is not a virtual disk.

  Resume a Suspended computer virtual fails with the message "the specified file is not a virtual disk. Tried to go back to the last snapshot fails with the same message "error restoring snapshot: the specified file is not a virtual disk '. '"

  The virtual machine has worked without delivers up to 21/12/2015 while she was snecessary. I often suspend > resume this machine virtual, but for some reason, I am now getting this error. Please help!

  The file unfortunately doesn't look very promising. It seems that the contents were crushed,

  Unless you have a backup, you can try to replace this file with a file 'empty' hard (e.g. copy Windows 7 x 64-000002-s100. ) ( vmdk) that contains only metadata (size = 327 680), to see if this allows you to use the virtual machine again. Note that you will lose all the data stored in the (corrupt) original hard file, and that the virtual machine will probably suffer file system errors. So make sure that you run chkdsk for all partitions in the guest OS.

  In any case, before doing so, I strongly recommend that you back up the existing files of the virtual machine! Once done, it could also be a good idea to run chkdsk for physical training.

  BTW. do you need all the snapshots? With all these clichés and the size of the virtual disk of the virtual machine, the virtual disk consists of files hard ~ 400.
