Error during attempted start of new VM Machine image

$

0

HI all,

 

I am unable to get a new VM Machine to start (that I created today ).

 

I am not very savvy with VMWARE, so please excuse my apparent route level knowledge of (VMware), but I would greatly appreciate

your guidance in resolving this. Thank you for your help and guidence.

 

 

Scenariio

 

- I have a dual boot computer (XP\W2k3SP2)

- After configuring the W2k3 env the way I needed it, I created a NEW VM Machine and saved it then zipped it with RAR.

- It was a 40 GB VM machine allocation and after RAR zipped it, it was about 25 MB file.

- I copied that RAR zipped VM to the C Drive, Uncompressed and saw these files;

 

- W2K3ENTSP2_SQL2008SP2_SDM_R12.5.vmdk      --------- ( 1kb )

- W2K3ENTSP2_SQL2008SP2_SDM_R12.5-flat.vmdk     ----- ( 41,943,040 kb )

- Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmsd          ---------  ( 0 kb )

- Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmsd        -----------  ( 1 kb )

 

When I try to start up this VM machine ( first time) I am getting a few errors;
