I have searched and tried almost every solution I could. I still cannot get my VM to load. Here is some background. Upgraded to Windows home server 2011. Even with every precaution, my RAID failed. I recovered the Raid with ease. I used disk internals to recover my data. I recovered every bit of what i needed back, so I thought. I copied the VM data back over to my new dedicated drive, made a backup of the files on another drive. I added vmware server back to windows. I went to add the VM and bam crash. I have tried everything I have read, made a new VM copied my vmdk file over, crash. Tried mounting it, no go it crashes and generates a core file. I tried the VMware converter, does not generate the files.
I have a generic 40G non-allocated main file. All the hardware is the same.
What else I can I do to recover this VM. I need 1 directory from it, I do not care about the rest. This directory held all of my development. I am relatively new to this, but I felt should try to fix this on my own. Now I need help.
I have the nvram, vmdk, vmsd, vmd, and vmxf files. All the log files are there as well, but vmware.txt i see is corrupted at the bottom.
What else can be done to recover this?
The vmdk is quite large at 11G currently, so i did not include it.
Thank you in advance!
