The file specified is not a virtual disk

$

I have reconnect 2 out of the 3 Virtuall Disks that were attached to my virtual server.

 

I belive the info has fallen out of the vmdk "pointer" files, as the -flat.vmdk files are still there, only the .vmdk pointer files seem to be empty??

 

Below are the error logs Before i removed the 2 Virutal disks, now I cant add them back to the virtual machine.

 

Any help appeciated.

Cheers
