[SOLVED] General system error when starting a VM after datastore move

Hi,

I used the "Move To" function to move a VM from one datastore to another. Now when i try to start it I get the follwoing error:

A general system error occurred. The system returned an error. Communication with thevirtual machine may have been interrupted.

When I view the Edit Settings - Options - Virtual Machine Configuration File & Working directory, they both point to the old datastore which now no longer contains the VM.

Bar Moving the File sback to the old datastore, what are my options here?

thanks.

Ok panic over.

And for anyone else with the same problem:

I removed the VM from the Inventory (right hand click and "Remove from Inventory") , then browsed to the vmx file on the new datastore and clicked "Add to Inventory".
