Failed to Lock file, can't get VM back

[paulcurtis]

My MacBook was in for a logic board swap, after this one of my VMs won't open

Cannot open the disk '/Users/Paul/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows XP.vmwarevm/Windows XP Professional.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

Module Disk power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

Now i can't find a Virtual Machines.localized directory for starters. I've restored the VM from time machine and opened that and it asks whether i copied or moved it, so i select copy but still no go

How can i fix this?

thanks

Paul

To help figure out what is what, the best way to provide comprehensive diagnostic information is to use the "Collect Support Information" command from the VMware Fusion (menu bar) > Help > Collect Support Information and then attach the .zip file (or .tgz file if pre-version 6) it created on your Desktop to a reply post.

File enclosed. There are two VMs, the XP is the one not working but the DevMachine one (win 7) appears to be okay. Problems happened after a logic board swap on the macbook. I have two SSDs in here, everything was on the main system one but there's a copy of the VM on the media SSD which appears in that config dump, but that's not important.

thanks!

From a quick look at the files it seems that all required files are present and have proper entries/sizes. Please try to delete all the .lck files and folders in the VM's folder/package to see whether this solves the issue.

Awesome, that appears to work. Thanks André!
