Hello,
I have trouble with a Windows 7 64 bits VM hosted on the IMac of my mum.
My Mum have create a new profil on the MAC and transfert his files with the MAC Tools “assistant migration” (it’s the French name of the tool, I don’t know the name in english).
Theses manipulations broke the VM, I have try a lot of thinks (find on the web) but I have not found a solution. I finally reload a backup of the IMac from the Timecapsule (older than migration) and surprise, the VM is already broken !!
You can see the list of files here :

The vmware.log file does not fill when I try to boot the VM.
When I try to boot the VM I have a error message indicate that the file “Windows 7 x64-cl1-000001.vmdk” is missing. This seems logical because this file does not exist.
The VM has just one HDD (“Windows 7 x64-cl1-000002.vmdk”). Why the config point to the ““Windows 7 x64-cl1-000001.vmdk as a parent file ?
Enclose log of vmware.
Thanks for help.
Regards.
