VMDK is corrupted after host Hang

Hello

3.1 Fusion running on 10.6.4 and I have a Windows 7 virtual machine that does not start. Fails with the message:

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

Reason: the specified virtual disk must be repaired.

I ran:

/ Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Fusion/vmware-vdiskmanager - R "Windows 7.vmdk".

And the following message is invited in the terminal:

The virtual disk 'Windows 7.vmdk', is damaged, but the repair process failed.

..

Any help with this would be appreciated. I'm kinda stuck right now because I don't have access to a backup. My virtual machine directory contains the following files:

564d6ff3 - 960C - 01 has 7 - 66 8 - 2d1e487b76de.vmem Windows 7 - s010.vmdk Windows 7 memory nvram

Windows 7 - Windows 7 - s020.vmdk vmware - 2.log s008.vmdk

Windows 7 - Windows 7 - s021.vmdk vmware.log s009.vmdk

..

I tried to import the virtual machine to another virtual machine, and it fails with the same message.

Thank you

Mark

It turns out that the file is missing only one block of 64K at the end, who could probably get written when the system blocked. Therefore very little loss of data.

Please make a backup of Windows 7 - s013.vmdk (or the VM around just to be sure). Then run the following command to add a block of 64K of zeros at the end of the file:

dd bs=64k count=1 oseek=15742 conv=notrunc if=/dev/zero of="/Users/markburgess/Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-s013.vmdk"

The new file size should be 1031733248 bytes. Try to run the virtual machine with the fixed file and download the new vmware.log if there another error (it is possible that the other files of measure were also corrupt).

I recommend you do a check disk Windows complete with chkdsk /f as soon as it is running, to make sure it gets repaired if necessary.

  • The VMDK Corruption after VDP 6 backup

    Hello

    I went to migrate a server this morning after that POS had finished its backup jobs and noticed that one of my virtual machines showed their hard disks as 0 b.

    I removed the hard drives in the hope of re - add to the virtual machine by trying to re-add that no records were listed in the virtual computers folder when browsing the data store.

    Then the research manually the data store, these are the files listed:

    SERVER - ctk.vmdk

    SERVER - flat hard

    Server_1-000001 - ctk.vmdk

    Server_1-000001 - delta.vmdk

    SERVER_2 - ctk.vmdk

    SERVER_2 - flat hard

    But NONE of these vmdk are listed by trying to pick up the VM.

    Can anyone help me / point me in the right direction?

    Very appreciated

    From the information provided, I created the file descripter is missing for the snapshot file / delta and modified the virtual machine configuration (.vmx) file.

    What you need to do is:

    • Download the two files in the folder of the virtual machine
    • Remove the block chanhed (ctk.vmdk...) track files, or make sure that the next backup is a full backup
    • Delete the file .vmsd
    • reload the file the.vmx (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026043)
    • create a new snapshot, so that you can return to the case that something does not work as expected

    Given that the virtual machine has been turned on with the basic disk, I highly recommend running chkdsk to fix any possible data corruption.

    After this - if everything works as expected - be sure that you 'Delete All' snapshot in the snapshots, provided Manager you annex free disk space (up to ~ 300 GB may be necessary).

  • VMDK corruption after an accidental deletion...?

    This is probably because the file Windows XP Professional.vmsd being a length of zero, when it does not, however, this is what I would try...

    Shutdown, not, suspend the Virtual Machine, and then close merger.

    In the Finder, open the packaging of the Virtual Machine and file ctrl + click on the Windows XP Professional - 000002.vmdk and select open with > VMDKMounter

    If it can be installed without error, that there should be an icon without a title the office which you can then browse and see if your returned data user is there and if you should save the user data before you do anything else.

  • Split VMDK - some corrupted files

    We had an outage on a host VMware Server 2.0 and two files that were part of a split VMDK file, have been corrupted.  We ran:

    fsck.reiserfs--rebuild-Arbre/dev/sda2

    For I hope to bring those corrupted files back to life, but no, they are completely missing

    I know it's a stretch, but it is anyway to bring back this VMDK to life, although it missed about 4 GB of data?

    It's on a virtual machine Windows Netware 6.5.  When I go to the 'parent' VMDK file and remove the lines referring to these two files, I can add that virtual disk back, but the server Netware do not see as valid a partition.

    Hello

    you have backups of the missing sections - even if they are very old?

    We need to replace the missing slices increments using the exact same file system and partition layout.

    So we plan A = replace the missing slices with one of a backup you have ay

    Plan B = recreate the same exact drive to produce new slices.

    If you need to create a new brand of disc you are using the same partition as the original used layout and format with the same options you used before.

    I did before with disk formatted NTFS and ext3 - in these cases, we could restore most of the files.

    I don't know how Netware will react to this?

  • T440S corrupted after update solution center, no menu start

    My T440S has corrupt files and the various problems which all seem to have started (maybe) an update of the lenovo Solution Center. I have Windows 8.1, model number 20AQ-CTO1WW. Problems:-"Windows Start menu" anything when you click it doesn't. -You try to start the solution Center Gets error "this application requires a version of adobe air, which can not be found. -Try to update or reinstall adobe air gets the same error shown above. -Try to uninstall adobe air gets the same error shown above. -I can't begin to interface user of Norton Internet Security. I tried to go back to a repair system point before all this began, and the return seems to work, except that the problems are all still there. I tried to reinstall the solution Center, downloaded 2.4.003, page load version low said that t440s is taken in charge. However, when I try to install it, I get the error "this version of lenovo Solution Center program can only be installed on select lenovo computers. This installation cannot continue. "I can't find a download of 2.4.002 on the lenovo site. I can't start the user interface for the solution Center, I get the error of adobe air. I ran sfc/scannow and got the "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but could not solve some of them." I see several files in the log that must be replaced, but I don't know how to replace them. I don't have a win 8.1 installation media. And when I try to create the recovery partition recovery media, I get an error that the file is missing (or something like that, I'm sorry, could not capture the exact error). so... suggestions welcome! I'm not positive all started with the update of the solution Center, but it's my best guess. Thank you!

    Just to conclude this, I have my system working again. If it actually occurred during the update of the solution center or not, I can't be sure, but what it, caused repeated error saw afterwards was "the application could not start correctly (0xc0000142)", listed in a dialog box, for many applications (when I tried to get the start menu, when I tried to run some applications (but not others) When I tried to install something new. The steps that finally cleared up things were:

    ran-a ' sfc/scannow' in a guest of administration. SFC found errors, but could not fix them.

    -Ran chkdsk, some disk errors were found and corrected.

    ran-a ' sfc/scannow' in an administration invites once again, same error still there, could not be repaired.

    -ran "Dism/Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Online" in a prompt administrative., he finds errors and said they were repairable.

    -ran "Dism/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Online" in a prompt administrative., he says he is able to repair the windows image. However, problems still occur.

    -run "sfc/scannow" in a guest of administration, and this time, it was able to repair the corrupted files. And after that, everything works again.

When I plugged it again after the reboot, it went well.

    but then I got an alert Bublé saying something like windows has delayed the process of drafting or smth on the hard drive and data are lost.

    I opened the folder on the hard drive and tried to play sth, it was corrupted txt files went EVERYTHING was corrupt or gone!

    Why THE FREAKING windows access _ and write or erase or change my bloody files if I don't even have to open the folder bloocy? It was not yet known for the love of christ. Why in gods name has destroyed windows all my 346 GB of files? This id do not have a copy.

    that the _ happens there? Windows, wrote that I'm not saying that he would do something.

    any help would be apreciatedm that I just want to know why windows destroyed all my stuff to avoid it in the future.

    and another thing, the problem with this usb devices are not recognized, what causes this error?

    I have windows xp sp3

    I think you may have a hardware problem. You can try to update the drivers of the computer (including the chipset or motherboard) and see if the problem clears. If this isn't the case, you may need to update the bios of the computer. If all fails, you will need to replace the motherboard on this PC. Since he is a big part, I suggest you buy a new computer, or get it fixed if it is still under warranty.

  • Word documents corrupt after the installation of Microsoft Office 2010.

    Original title: problems after installation of Office 2010

    Hi all...

    Installed 2010 using SCCM 2,000 desktop computers.

    After installation I had about 50 clients with different problems, and the only solution I have found so far is to delete and recreate the user profile.

    To be more precise, some clients when you open a word document have an error advising the document is corrupted and running document recovery tool.

    This is followed by an error and you have the option to send to MS or not.

    No matter what you select documents recovery starts to recover and then throws to the top of the same mistake. This happens three times with the same messages whether to send.

    Word closes and if you try to reopen the same doc the process is exactly the same thing.

    Documents can be on a server share or local hard disk.

    Some documents are opened without problem.

    If I disconnect the client, and log back on with any other account, the document opens fine.

    After the deletion and re-creation of the profile of users, documents open without error.

    We also use groupwise to email (urghh) and the same customers don't have any address book once the office install.

    After the deletion and re-creation of the profile, the address book also works OK.

    On the PC, the only change was the installation of Office 2010 and errors have appeared that immediately after deployment.

    All PC are patches and A / V is trend (latest updates.)

    PC include a laptop HP 6730 and 5800's HP desktop computers

    Troubleshooting CD/DVD or Blu - Ray in Microsoft Windows Player problems

    I also found the information below which solved some other error code 39. First, follow the information in the links above.

    o do this, you must be logged on to Windows as an administrator. Please follow the steps below carefully, as serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. It is recommended that you back up the registry , so you can restore the previous situation if necessary.

    1. press Win + r (key Windows and the R button). A run dialog box will appear. Type Regedit , and then clickOK.

    2. expand my computer in the registry editor, and then expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

    3. expand SYSTEM, and then expand CurrentControlSet.

    4. develop Controland class.

    5. under class, click {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.

    6. in the details pane of the editor of the register, on the right side, delete UpperFilters.

    This should fix the problem if the filters were indeed the reason, which is often the case. If you don't see UpperFilters, remove LowerFilters. If you do not see the LowerFilters, drive can be overwritten.

  • Print spooler is corrupted after every reboot.

    original title: corrupt Printer Spooler

    I have huge problems with my spooler.  I tried every fix I found on this site, and they work.  Until my laptop is restarted, then Windows 7 seems to be obsessed with restore corrupted files.  It seems he has programmed it to file backup that runs the joint.  We have renamed the files, we ran all the scans here, we did things together of dependencies (which has never worked in a first time.)  When I do the scans, it is said he found and repair corrupt files.  Then I turn off my laptop.  Turn it on, VOILA!  Corrupted once more.  I really don't want to, or don't I think I should have to, go through the trash whenever I want to print.  I want a permanent solution, please.

    Hello VxShady,

    I lived the same problem and your last message gave me a few ideas, leading to the following solution worked for me.

    1. Open a with right click command prompt and use the option "run as Administrator".
    2. SFC can restore the version appropriate for spoolsv.exe, "sfc/scannow".
    3. Start the spooler service to confirm it works and set to start automatically.
    4. Open a Windows Explorer with the right-click and use the "Run as Administrator" option.
    5. Navigate to the Windows\System32 folder, right click on spoolsv.exe and choose the properties option.
    6. Check the read-only check box, and then click OK.
    7. Copy the file spoolsv.exe on the desktop for good measure.
    8. Reset.

    The program or service that replace your file with a corrupted version spoolsv.exe should now be unable to crush them. For me, this solves the problem, and the spooler service starts automatically after reboot.

    I hope it helps you too!

    Best regards, Dave

  • VMDK file corrupted

    I have corrupted files vmdk and tried a few elements in order to retrieve the data, and have so far not had much luck.

    I downloaded the virtual disk Development Kit and ran the vmware - vdiskmanager.exe on main vmdk file.  All I get is that the file is corrupted and cannot be repaired.  I tried to install the trial of the workstation Pro... happy to pay for it if she fixed my drive... and that did not help much.

  • Windows 10-12 Pro Workstation - host host hangs

    I use a dual monitor Workstation 12 Pro (upgrade for a couple of years) on a circuit that uses Windows 7.  I've recently upgraded the host Windows 10 Pro operating system.

    In general, I have 2-3 virtual computers comments running both with a mix of Linux, Windows 7, windows 10 and windows 8.1.

    When the host is Windows 7, I sometimes had problems with the host freeze and lock up when windows 8.1 system was running.  The only solution was to reboot.  It seemed to occur frequently, if the host has made a windows update check.

    Now that I've upgraded to Windows 10, it takes a few minutes to an hour for one of my virtual machines to cause the host of freeze-up.  By changing my strategy to group system, I put Windows Update to warn me before installing updates.  For example, Windows Update may not be the problem.

    I ran all the usual equipment diagnostics and nothing comes up.  I've updated all my drivers at latest.

    The host is not completely stuck, as I heard the rotating hard drives and I can ping the host.  However, no network of top-level service is sensitive, such as sharing files, WMI, remote registry service, etc.  The mouse is blocked in "waiting."  The taskbar does not respond and CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing.  After the reboot, the windows event logs show nothing of interest.  I enabled debugging of VMware, but nothing unusual appears in newspapers.

    I disabled 3D hardware acceleration for the guest virtual machines.  Nothing seems to work.

    Any ideas on the best way to sort this?

    OK, I noticed that right at the time of a recent deadlock, that a bunch of automatic maintenance tasks were running with Windows 10.  Using Task Scheduler, I disabled all associated Windows 10 automatic maintenance tasks:

    -File history

    -DiskCleanup

    -Defrag

    -Maintenance

    -Windows Defender

    -Application Data\DsSvcCleanup

    -Chkdsk

    -MemoryDiagnostic

    -MUI

    -Power efficiency diagnostic

    Since then, I've been running without a deadlock during the night, which is a record since the update of Windows 10 for the host, but far from ideal.  I cross my fingers that this solves the problem.
