Hello all,
I have an issue where a server lost power unexpecedly and I'm not able to get the machine to boot.
The error is
Cannot open the disk '/var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/Server/Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-000001.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Reason: Failed to lock the file.
I assumed that this was because of lck files in the dirctory, but there aren't any.

As you can see, there aren't any lock files in the directory listing.
This was a working system, so the permissions are workable, it's a CentOS Host with a Win2k3 Guest server.
If it's not permissions, it's not lock files, and I'm thinking it may be a corrupted disk.
Can someone please help me get this resolved?
I'm really in a bind and apprecaite any help you can offer!
Thanks!
