Problems of migration to a new system - guest operating system does not work

I've been running VMware Player on a Win 7 64 bit laptop.  I have 3 computers of customers, which is 32-bit Win XP.  I've just set up a new machine, also running Win 7 64 bit, but a processor more recent (i7) and more memory (32 GB).  I use the same version of the player on both machines (4.0.1 build-528992).  I copied all the files from the laptop to the new office.  Ubuntu and Mac OS X Lion customers will work perfectly.  When I try to run the client Win XP, I get the following message:

File not found: Windows XP Mode base.vhd

This file is required to power on this virtual machine.  If this file has been moved, please provide its new location.

I don't have a VHD file, I have a VMDK file (again, which works fine on the laptop).  I tried turn off the virtual machine on the laptop, then copying the files to the desktop, and I also tried to suspend, both with the same results.  When I try to change the settings of the virtual machine on the new desktop, clicking on the adjustment of the hard drive (IDE) causes the following message:

The parent of this virtual disk could not be opened.

The VMDK file is 19.2 GB.  I've searched and searched trying to find why this could happen and found nothing.  The XP machine has a good bit of responsible software that I use on a daily basis.  Last resort, I could create a virtual XP machine on the new desktop and reload all the software, but strongly prefer not to do it - it would be a tedious task.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could happen and how to fix it?  I copied the files several times to ensure that it is not something simple like a damaged copy.  I'm puzzled.  The XP machine was NOT initially a WIndows XP Mode machine, even if the message indicates that VMware Player seems to think it is (and, again, it works fine on the laptop).  The name of the virtual machine is "WIndows XP Mode" - maybe that's why he complains.  Is it possible to rename all of the files and references to files to resolve this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the community,

We can be able to know if the virtual machine is one any "Windows XP Mode" VM or not to take a look at VMware.log virtual machine. Please attach the last file vmware.log file XP VM (that of the laptop), as well as the PC to your next post.

  • \\HOME-server is not accessible. A device attached to the system does not work.

    I use Windows 7 Professional. My network server is WHS V1.

    I have a shortcut on the desktop to \\HOME-SERVER on my W7 machine.
    All of a sudden it has stopped working.
    I get the message
    \\HOME-server is not accessible. You might not...
    A device attached to the system does not work.

    I found that the command line net view \\HOME-SEVER gives (and by typing this in an address bar of the Explorer does not work)
    31 system error has occurred.
    A device attached to the system does not work.

    And this net view \\HOME-SERVER\Music gives (but in typing this in a browser address bar works!)
    53 system error has occurred.
    The network path was not found.
    However, net view 192.168.1.99 (my server address) correctly list the share on the server names (and entering \\192.168.1.99 in Explorer address bar works).
    I did a system restore until the problem occurred first to rule out any changes to the system.
    The problem occurred again.
    This means that my Sync Center shows none of my synchronization partnerships.
    Can anyone suggest the setting or service that must be corrected to solve system error 31 problem?
    TIA

  • Firefox automatically updated itself, would not add new bookmarks, then deleted all mine, will not always add new, now the back button does not work. I'm Livid.

    I think I'm on Firefox 13.0. He put itself as part of the update of my computer up to date (at least I guess that's what happened, because it has changed). I noticed yesterday that he would not favorite Web sites, but I thought it was just the website or bookmarks have been full-time or something. Today, I tried to remove a few bookmarks to make more, but they would not remove. I tried to register a new site, and it wouldn't work. I tried to close/exit firefox and re-opening of the program. While the program was closed, I installed the next set of updates on my computer. When I have opened firefox, all my favorites, and the tab menu (or what you call personal small bar on the actual tabs) were gone. I can't always favorite of new sites, so I can't even re-do all my favorites (and I got a lot, all of them arranged so it's a big loss and incredibly annoying). Then I realized that the back button does not work. And the cursor remains on the typing that I symbol, it does not change the arrow, when I click on a link.

    One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

    You can also try to repair the database of places with this extension:

  • When I open a new tab, the back button does not work on the second page, I discover - never the second page, regardless of the site.

    When I opened a new tab - or when I first open a browser - as soon as I go to a second page, I can't go back to the first. Thus, for example, I opened a new tab. I go to a news site. I click on a title. I can not then go back to the first page of the new site. If I go back to the first page manually (by typing the url, or by opening a bookmark) and then click on the same heading, I'll be able to go back.

    The inability to return only ever happens on the second page opens in a new tab or window. At any time, I can go back as normal - but the first page I was on that tab / in this window is erased from history.

    This isn't something that's happened only with FF4, either. I first noticed a couple of weeks, but I upgraded shortly after, assuming it was a bug that would set the new browser. But it's always like that. He still refuses to back the second page of the first.

    This problem may be caused by an extension (McAfee SiteAdvisor) that is not working properly.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

    • Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

    Hello. My problem is that my windows xp does not work corectly, mousecursor, sounds, videos, games, programs, everything turns into a ' stop and go '. as the cpu slows all the 1-2 seconds. I reinstalled windows now 4 times and any document in the format hd´s.

    Don t know what to do...

    and a second question... maybe this could be the answer for the first ;-)

    in my hardware-registration of my system windows are two elements, for I can't find a driver.

    -PCI-Device
    -videocontroller fuer multimedia (German ;-))
    in English systems, maybe it's the multimedia "media control device" or "videocontroller" or something...

    does anyone know if I can get the drivers, because they´re not listed on the toshiba site. and my backup-disk system was stolen. (sounds strange... I know :-))

    OK, please give me some advice, if you have any ideas!

    THX a lot, patrick

    Hello Patrick

    First of all, it will be interesting to know if the unit is pre-installed by recovery media. The installation of Qosmio is quite complicated, and I recommend you use the restore CD.

    In this way it is not possible to give a precise answer because I don't know what kind of things is installed on your device. I guess in your case, some application (such as the virus scan) runs in the background and your HARD drive can be pointed out.

    If your recovery DVDs is stolen, you can order a partner of service authorized in your country.

    Good bye
