It looks like the VM ran on a snapshot, and was somehow reverted!? Please explain what exactly you did with the VM (i.e. did you edit the settings?

"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 (VMware Fusion 6) or .tgz file (VMware Fusion 5 and earlier) it created on your Desktop to a reply post.

Note: Use the "Use advanced editor" link in the upper right corner of the normal reply window to bring up the Advanced Editor where you'll be able to attach files via the Choose File button or Browse button (depending on the Browser) above the Post Message button!"

Thank you.

Hi,

You seem to be talking about the Zopilote VM, which has auto-protect enabled...

The snapshot chains on that particular VM are a bit convoluted.

You can start by shutting down your VM and VMware Fusion and after that take a full backup of the whole folder to an external disk before you do anything else. That way whatever happens you will have a way to get back to your current state.

There's 2 vmx files in that folder too, one called "good" vmx.. which I bet is the bad vmx.. sorry off to bed for me.
