Corrupted VMDK Help

Hi,

I was running an VM and suddenly my windows crashed on the VM. Since then I was unable to start up my VM anymore.

I've attached the log below. 

Need some help as I've lost 2 weeks worth of work.

Thanks in advance.

Are you able to migrate VM in a cluster between ESXi hosts?  Try also storage migration. 

Is it vmdk on which System is installed, correct? What about Backup? Are you able to restore VM?

Thanks for the Information.

I went through the log and found where the error was. missing a WIN7PRO-cl3-s008.vmdk' file.

So I copy the an old s008 and add it as a disk to another VM.

At the end manage to recover some of data.

Thanks for your help.
