I dont remember, what happened lastly, May be it was closed due to abnormal shut down of my Windows 7.

You seem to have lost the files "EpicorSI-s001.vmdk" until "EpicorSI-s055.vmdk". The last changes were made on september, 16 2013. I believe there is no chance for recovering any useful data on the host.

Do you have a backup from this guest?

Dear DayWorker

Thanks for your support.

I understand the missing file issue here.

I just realized after your answer that I mmoved the files to my External Drive partially.

In this case, I am thankful to you to just help me to restore my memories...that is getting weaker day by day Smiley Happy

Move all files back and the VM should run.
