VMHSGetDataFileKey: Could not get the dataFileKey from VMDB

[christianebuddy]

Unfortunately a power outage stopped my computer.

When I brought it up again, started Fusion and started the virtual machine with Windows 7, running before the power outage this is the error message:

VMHSGetDataFileKey: Could not get the dataFileKey from VMDB

Windows is starting but after the moving icon screen a black screen remains and nothing is happening. Starting in safe mode does not solve the issue.

How to recover from this power outage and what is the dataFileKey and why is it gone now?

I'd like to bump this as well, I've got an image that won't start up and the log file is telling me the same thing. Any ideas would be appreciated.
