I have VM running WIndows 8 under WMware Workstation Pro 15.5.7 on a Windows 11 machine.
Windows Defender somehow deleted one of the split vmdk files. Spent two hours with a MS tech trying to find the missing file, but it is gone.
Is there any way to either, at least attempt to get some data that may still exist on the virtual disks or at most get the VM running again?
Hoping for the best.
