Hi,

when I try to start a virtual machine, I receive the following error message: "VMDB Failure". This is very strange since this VM always started without problems until now. No log is generated in vm directory.

When I edit the VM settings and click in a disk, i receive the following message: "Failed to retrieve disk information for <path>. VMDB Failure".

I have already tryed to reset permissions on virtual disk files, even with "everyone  full control".

I'm using VMWare Server v. 1.06 build 91891 in Windows 2003 Server Std x64 SP2 host, and the guest is a Win2003 server too.

Below is my vmx file.

Thanks for any help!
