I am contacting you to ask for help to get my system going again.
I am asking for assistance to fix this problem that occurred when I had filled my allowable disc space, but after installing extra hard drive capacity, I am unable to get VM Ware to co operate.
Things may have stopped due to filling the 20 GB allowed for the Windows application being nearly filled. I was asked on the screen to make space by deleting or removing files to be able to continue, at which point I closed the computer to visit my Apple store to have the 500 GB Seagate drive fitted.
When inspecting through Finder, I can see on VM Ware settings that the hard disk SCSI disk is 22.91 GB. This figure is larger than settings number.
The screen message when things went wrong is :
"Cannot open the disk '/ Users / john bradley / Documents / Virtual Machines / Windows XP Professional. vmwarevm / Windows XP Professional - 000011.vmdk ' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on .
Reason : The specified virtual disk needs repair "
I have deleted all snapshots, as I have backed up with Time Machine and an external drive. When I attempt to expand the disc size in VM Ware settings, I am advised to do a disc cleanup, which I have tried and done several times. This has deleted files and has lasted only a 2 - 3 seconds, so there is not much to do.? The print in the hard drive screen in settings is in grey and has not been in black print.
I have since thought I should do a rollback to the date of 13 June when I did my last snapshot and all was ok. Would this have been successful if I had not deleted this snapshot ?
I don't know what to do next, can you assist ?
