When I attempt to start the virtual machine, I get the following error:
"Cannot open the disk 'c:\virtual machines\actuate 8 - windows 2000 server\Actuate 8 - Windows 2000 Server-000004.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Reason: The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created."[/i]
I ran this code in 2 batch files (i got this from this forum) to shrink the vmdk files...
cleanup.bat:
defrag g: -f -v
for /R %%i IN (*.vmdk) do call shrink_disk "%%i"
echo Klaar
pause[/i]
and shrink_disk.bat:
vmware-vdiskmanager -d %1
vmware-mount m: %1
vmware-vdiskmanager -p M:
vmware-mount m: /d
vmware-vdiskmanager -k %1[/i]
I have 4 .vmdk files : Actuate 8 - Windows 2000 Server.vmdk, Actuate 8 - Windows 2000 Server-000002.vmdk, Actuate 8 - Windows 2000 Server-000003.vmdk, and Actuate 8 - Windows 2000 Server-000004.vmdk

Please let me know if there are any other log files that I need to post to better diagnose this. Thanks.
