Repair WMWare Virtual Harddisk File From Corruption
In the last few hours i faced a serious problem with VMWare.
My VMDK or VMWare Virtual Disk file corrupted due to a failure happened in the vmware.
After doing search on internet about this problem i didn’t found efficient and easy solution, but at last i found a the best solution represented by VMWare company for both Windows and Linux users 😀
It’s the most efficient and easiest solution for anyone have problem with his VMDK files.
The Problem Reason
Because i don’t have must enough space on the host hard disk so the VMWare Player crashed and made the VMDK crash too.
The Solution For The Problem
For Windows
- Download and unzip the attached 1023856-vdiskmanager-windows-7.0.1.zip file.
- Expand the compressed file, and rename it to vmware-vdiskmanager. exe.
- Copy the vmware-vdiskmanager. exe file to C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation. For 64-bit operating systems, the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation.
- Shut down any virtual machines that are running and quit Workstation.
- Restart Windows.
- Manually repair your virtual disk using the utility you just downloaded:
- Open a command prompt.
- Enter this command:
- vmware-vdiskmanager -R <virtual disk.vmdk> [Where <virtual disk.vmdk> is the virtual disk that appeared in the error message].
Note: The path was probably set correctly by the Workstation installation, but you might have to change to the directory where you installed Virtual Disk Manager (in step 3).
For Linux
- Download and unzip the attached 1023856-vdiskmanager-linux-7.0.1.zip file.
- Expand the compressed file, and rename it to vmware-vdiskmanager .
- Copy the vmware-vdiskmanager file to /usr/bin.
- Shut down any virtual machines that are running and quit Workstation.
- Restart your computer.
- Manually repair your virtual disk using the utility you just downloaded:
- Open a command prompt.
- Run this command:
- /usr/bin/vmware-vdiskmanager -R <virtual disk.vmdk> [Where <virtual disk.vmdk> is the virtual disk that appeared in the error message].
