VM does not start: general system error

Hello

I have run 4 VM via vmware server 2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 host.

Yesterday for no reason like my 50 GB of free space on the partition where the virtual machine is stored suddenly disappeared.  Several of the files in the directories VM had balooned to new heights.  My virtual machines have been crushed this morning.

Nevertheless, I moved 1 VM to a fallback server, clear up a lot of space.

Now, all but 1 of my VM will start.  I get an error:

Power on Virtual Machine did not finish: a general system error occurred: unable to connect to the virtual machine

Windows Journal says: unable to connect to VMX: E:\Virtual_Machines\servername\servername.vmx

I'm a little uncertain as to where are my logs from VMware, and cannot can't find a deinitive answer to this.

I have a suspicion that I am maybe more space disk on the Windows Partition in the virtual machine itself, is it possible?  That would force the latter to start anymore?

Any help is appreciated.  I scoured the net to find answers, but found little, and what I had to do with Linux issues, that I don't have.

'Remove' will leave your VM to the point that it is now by the merger of the snapshot file and the disk basic together, which is the intensive part of the disc. After the end, you will have some snapshots (Server 2.x allows only a single shot) and therefore no possibility to return to when the snapshot was taken originally.

It seems that the disk subsystem should be at the height.

Could you temporarily attach a (slow) external network or USB device and copy all the vmdk files just in case something bad happens? Don't mean to scare you - it will almost certainly ok, but only in the case (in function of the importance of the data in the virtual disk are, of course).

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you are facing problems with your Windows 7 computer. The question might be if there is a file system corruption. Then I suggest you to perform auto repair. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1:

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    Try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    3. Click repair your computer.

    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

  • Satellite 5200-902 does not start and several errors

    Hello

    I had a serious problem with my computer.

    While playing a game, the screen become corrupt. It is difficult to describe but basically blocks of colors appeared on the screen and icons became corrupt, lines and points seemed and the screen seems to tremble. The stoppage, the office appeared, and then the corruption of screen appeared again. A Blue Screen of Death appeared, but I couldn't read what he says because the display corrupted again. The laptop then restarted. Ran scan disk and when the computer was upward and the performer said he had just recovered from a mistake serious etc etc. But he did not know what had happened to other than a general driver error.

    At this point, I backed up all my files on my external hard drive.

    The laptop was then suffer from the same issue of corruption to screen again and again, but apparently only after being on for > 5-10 minutes. This time, the BSoD said that it was my graphic drivers and specifically the NV4_disp.dll. So I restored my graphics drivers on the originals included with the computer, but the same error happens again.

    My DVD Multidrive had stopped playing CD a week or two before it (a problem that I was intending to settle). However, mysteriously it started to work again after the first error. So I decided that the only thing I could do was to restore the computer. So I did. However when he asked for the second CD to be inserted the drive does not recognize it (a series of jarring and whirs repetitive of the reader in the same way exactly, that it had been a week or two before; though even when it would not read anything else, would still read DVD about 40% of the time). I tried several times, but meanwhile, the corruption of the display is back!

    I had to cancel the process and the Multidrive still refuses to read the recovery CD and so the laptop computer simlpy cannot be restarted. The most concerning thing now is that the corruption of screen returned when I finally tried to start the computer with the recovery CD - text was corrupted and polyhedral and randomly on the screen. The laptop is now off.

    I fear that it is a hardware failure. I don't see how it could be a virus because one) my anti virus (Norton) was only two or three days from its last update and b) display corruption occurred still even after that the hard drive had been partially formatted by the restore disc, and Windows had not yet started.

    Does anyone have advice? The problem is that I can't boot from the restore disc (unless there is a way to boot from an external CD drive?) and given the corruption of persistent display, I am not yet convinced that that would solve the problem anyway.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hello

    I've read about similar problems with the graphic driver or the graphics card of the internet and it happened more often during the game.
    I think it might be an overheating of the graphics card.
    You know that the games are a heavy application that needs a complete service for laptop.
    All portable devices run in this case with a maximum yield and produce a lot of heat.
    I think that it could have a bad influence on the map. As you say the problem appeared after 5-10 min. I think that in this time, the temperature has been increased.

    So I don't know how to help you. I think you should ask the technician for the control of the laptop. Eventually the cooling module must be replaced and if the graphics card has a malfunction, in my opinion, it should be replaced also.

  • Need help: Reader does not start, the message error "attempt to access an address not valid."

    My previous installation of the drive (Windows 7, 32 bit) worked without any problems.  Until a few days ago when I updated to the latest CD player.  Installation worked fine, but when you try to start the CD player, I received the following error message: "attempt to access an address not valid."  I uninstalled CD and installed Player 11.0.  Yet once, installation worked fine, but I get the same error message, even if double click directly the Adobe Reader .exe file.

    A similar question was asked in December 2014, but I do not see a resolution.

    Without Adobe Reader, many applications simply do not work.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Adobe Reader Error Message 2015-10-18.jpg

    Thank you, Christopher, but this thread did not provide the right answer to my situation.  However, I continued working on my problem and finally found the solution: it's software Msreader EMET let go.  This software is an absolute disaster.  This is a free Microsoft security software. It's great, but once installed on your system, you cannot uninstall it even more.  After an EMET update a few months ago, I could not start Microsoft Word program.  After hours of play and even communicate with their support (not), I finally understood that he was own EMET software Microsoft blocks the Word Microsoft to start program.  Apparently, these guys don't know what they are doing.

    Anyway, I was ready to uninstall and reinstall the drive again, this time using the cleaner of Adobe's Acrobat Reader software to remove all possible traces of before install.  Before I did that, I remembered the EMET disaster a few months opened EMET, unmarked all actions AcroRd32.exe, and voila, launched reader and let me not open PDF files. (I had to reboot my PC before that worked).  Player is then proposed to upgrade to the latest version.  I did, and big surprise, Reader produces the same error message after the update.  Heck!  But after another reboot, the drive launched without any problem (apparently, EMET for the additional restart to recognize the changes after the update).

    I lost the greater part of the day to work on this issue, but I'm a happy camper again, because my Acrobat Reader works again.  Maybe my experience will help someone else.

  • Satellite L450D - 13 X does not start the system - PXE - E61: Media test failure

    Hello

    I turned on my laptop after only a day and it will not load
    As a first step, he said start the system restart or start normally,

    I chose startup repair, but it does not complete the repair.
    It now comes with a repetitive screen with PXE - E63: media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - MOF: exit ROM PXE

    I tried Googling the answer and go into the BIOS menu and to the section boot but I can't seem to change anything at work.

    There are, and exclamation mark in front of what I think is my hard drive on the screen

    ! HDD1/SSD1 TOSHIBA MK2555GSX-(S2)
    CD/DVD HL - DT - ST DVDRAM GT20N-(S4)
    FLOPPY DRIVE
    LAN

    I have nothing in the disk drive and I don't have a recovery disk.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanx

    Leon

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a malfunction of the HARD drive and so the BIOS can not find a bootable device and goes to the last possible bootable option which is LAN.

    The exclamation mark in front of the HARD drive indicates that there is a problem with the HARD drive so I think you need to replace the HARD drive and you need to reinstall the system.

    PS: What laptop do you have exactly?

    Thanks for posting with us.  If you are able to boot mode safe mode with command prompt, and then run this command:

    Chkdsk /r

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265

    It is also possible that this happens if there is a registry problem.  You can consult this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545

    If they do not help, then you will need to use the recovery options that are available from HP to perform a repair installation or a parallel installation.
