Can I do anything with the files on my system after I abort a revert to snapshot operation?
This is VMware server 1.0.10 on windows 2003
I hit the revert to snapshot button expecting a list of available snapshots. VMware closed the OS and immediately started the restore. I panicked and terminated all vmware processes before it completed. I then restarted the host OS and started the guest OS. Tragically, the guest OS is restored to an ancient snapshot and runs perfectly. What can I do to get my current OS running???
Here's why I think I might have options.
There are still a lot of snapshot files in the guest OS directory
The overall size of the files is large
VMware still gives me the option to revert to snapshot
The following is a list of files in the guest OS dir:
Volume in drive C is SYS
Volume Serial Number is F0F4-BF09
Directory of C:\Virtual Machines\Windows Server 2003 Small Business
