Hi there,
I recently ran into a problem while trying to start up a Ubuntu 64-bit virtual machine on my local disk. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and using VMPlayer (non-commercial).
When I try to start my machine, I get the following error message:
---------------------------
VMware Player Error
---------------------------
Cannot open file "E:\My Documents\Virtual Machines\Ubuntu 64-bit\ace.dat": The system cannot find the file specified.
VMware Player unrecoverable error: (vmplayer)
NOT_IMPLEMENTED d:/build/ob/bora-1031769/bora/lib/disklib/sparseChecker.c:1291
A log file is available in "C:\Users\Luke Tsekouras\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware-Luke Tsekouras\vmware-vmplayer-7864.log".
You can request support.
To collect data to submit to VMware technical support, run "vm-support".
We will respond on the basis of your support entitlement.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I have attached the log file mentioned in the error message.
I'm not sure what may have caused this issue. The virtual machine sits on a RAID 5 array, which recently had one of its disks fail, but this ideally shouldn't cause any issues.
Any idea what's going on? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
