VMware Won't Boot After vMotion

Yesterday I re-created a RAID and for that, I moved 20 virtual machines to another datastore. On their way back, all of them worked fine BUT 1. The VM (Windows 2003 Server) starts and only a blinking cursor is showing on the screen. I tried accessing the server using remote desktop, but is not started. It seems, the VM is not booting.

Tried creating a new one (using the old disk), changing config, but nothing.

Any ideas? I'm attaching the log file.

This sounds as if the MBR got lost/corrupted somehow!?

What you could try is to - after taking a snapshot - use fixmbr to repair the MBR (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326215/en-us)
