It looks like one, or more of the VM's virtual disk files got lost!?

Please check whether all of the "DC-cl1-000003-s###.vmdk" files that are listed in "Passportal DC-cl1-000003.vmdk" are present in the folder.

In doubt, run dir *.* to list the files in the VM's folder, and post the command's output (as plain text please).

Next time you run into something like this do not start the VM more than 2 times if it fails with an error.

After those 2 times backup your vmware.logs first.

If you had followed that this time we very likely could have figure out which file is missing by reading those older logs.

Now all your logs only show the error ...
