Guest OS is crashed

HI

I am using VM for SAP PI practice. i got the dump installed in my external hard disk. So i have vmdk and vmx files in HDD.

When i tried to access those files in the vm, the vmx file is worked for the first time and after getting the vm tools updated,

the guest OS (Windows server 2003 enterprise) is turned to black screen with underscore at the top left corner.

every time i turn on , the same issue occurs.

please help me out.

i have attached the log file also.

Looking at this section:

Does the E:\p71\p71.vmdk file exist?
