VMTN

There really is no need to backup lck files or directories

Yes..it worked for me as well..Thanks

I solved my problem (the same "failed to lock the file cannot open the disk'') too! Deleting all files *.logs and directories *.icks. Thanks!

I have had a similar issue.

I could not get a win2008 server VM to start on a Mac Mini running VmWare Fusion pro 8 trial.

The Virtual machine were copied from a PC onto a USB-disk.

I copied the files from the USB-disk to my Mac Mini from where the VM would be running.

The virtual machine did not boot, giving the message:

Cannot open the disk "/path to my machine.vmdk/" or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

Module "Disk" power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

I deleted all .lck-files and log files from the Virtual machines folder.

Afther deletion the virtual machine booted right away.

Worked for me when I deleted .lck folders

I also had a same problem. (Problem came when I copy a file in the virtual machine (Win XP) to another virtual machine (Win 7). Then VMware Workstation got stuck & Task manager shows Disk process 100%. After couple of minutes my laptop over heat & power off. (i5 2nd gen - 8GB Ram). Then I power on VMs Win 7 vm show this error)

I delete 3 folders in my crashed virtual machine folder. All folders had inside M65027.lck like this files.

Then works fine.

... and it still works for Workstation 12.1.1 running Windows 10 x64.  Thanks for posting this easy fix.

HI,

Can you help me? In my VM's directory, there is no file with .lck extension.

The problem is the same with other people, that it failed to lock the file

Cannot open the disk '\home\User062\minhkhot\Documents\Virtual Machines\Ubuntu 64-bit\Ubuntu 64-bit.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

Module 'Disk' power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

Thanks

Thank you! This worked for me too.

I deleted all the folders/files with the lck extension and the log files.

Note: My PC crashed when I was running this virtual machine and I believe this is why I couldn't boot the vm.

Thanks again!

Thank you Bro, worked for me. @YadiJafariYadiJafari !

Grateful.

Searched and deleted all ***.lck files, booted up the guest machine, worked like a charm. Thanks.

thank you very much, you solved my problem too.

Thanks! I deleted folder ,ldk and it worked

This fixed my problem also.  Thank you very much!

Thanks for the info. I deleted all the .ick and .log files and booted back up. I am running Blue Iris on this VM and have 60 gigs of clips that were being auto protected and eventually I ran out of space on my 256 gig SSD drive. I manually take snapshots now.

Thanks again. I looked high and low for the fix.
