Hi,

There is no virtual disk in your screenshot (aka the virtual machine cannot work) as it seems only the descriptor file pc8.vmdk is left.

Have you tried to search your disk for files names starting with "pc8" and ending on vmdk?

(Eg. in windows search enter: pc8*.vmdk )

Perhaps the file got moved to another folder by accident?

If that doesn't work you might try some undelete tool to see if that gives you back your virtual disk, but that doesn't always work well with large files such as virtual disks.

If you need to undelete then do not use your host as bits and pieces of your data will get overwritten over time.

Please attach pc8.vmdk to your next reply.
It is required to find out wether the virtual disk has been truncated or if the binary extends are missing.
