Don, Please create a new blank VM on the same datastore as your template VM. Remove and delete the disk created with this new VM under Edit Settings. Using the datastore browser, copy the .vmdk file that exists in your template VM folder into the folder of the new VM. Go to Edit Settings for the new VM, and choose to add a disk. Instead of creating a new disk, browse to the .vmdk file that you just copied over and add that. If you can boot this VM (and convert it to a template) then you can safely delete the old VM/template. how do i get more log info on what is causing this generic error? Generally, for an error like this, you can look in the vmware.log file(s) that exist in the same folder on the datastore as the VM.
