[help] the vmx file is broken and I can't get the ...

bdhmwz · ‎04-22-2017

Today I shutdown the vmware and when I tried to open the vm again. It can't start anymore. I try to open the vmx file, but it's broken and can not be read. I have a lot of impoortant data in the disk, is there any way to solve this problem?

I tried to use the map feature, but error occured when reading the column.

Thank you so much

Hi,

thank you for your reply

I copy a vmx file from another vm and modified the vmdk file, but when I click on the vmx file, nothing happened, no log at all.

But I start a new virtual machine using the existing vmdk files, the vm can not boot, every time the error come out: cpu has been disabled by the guest

this is the vmx file:

> But I start a new virtual machine using the existing vmdk files
Bad idea if you dont do it right:
instead of
scsi0:0.fileName = "SatLab-000001.vmdk"
you used
scsi0:0.fileName = "G:\huifu\Recovered1\SatLab\SatLab.vmdk"
Now you have to fix the CID-chain missmatch in SatLab-000001.vmdk and hope that your failed start attempts have not damaged the filesystem.
Generally speaking its a bad idea to attach a vmdk of a VM that does not boot to another VM. Instead use the existing VM and boot it into a LiveCD.
Also next time use the attach-button instead of pasting random parts of vmware.logs

bdhmwz · ‎04-22-2017

thank you so much

I can't boot the original vm, so I start a new VM. And I tried to modify the vmdks and fix the chain. But it can't boot anyway.

I have attached the files.

Could I call you via skype? I can pay for you because the data is very important for me.

continuum · ‎04-24-2017

Yes - you can call me via skype:

but there is not much to do:
change vmx:
IS: scsi0:0.fileName = "G:\huifu\Recovered1\SatLab\SatLab.vmdk"
SHOULD BE:scsi0:0.fileName = "SatLab-000001.vmdk"

change SatLab-000001.vmdk
SHOULD BE: parentCID=42a015d6

thank you so much

I cannot recover the vmx file, thus the vm cannot be opened.

But I recovered the vmdk files, and used another vm to open the vmdk file.

I get all the data I needed.

Thank you for you replay.

All

[help] the vmx file is broken and I can't get the data in the vmdk file
