The Issue:
I am running a Windows XP Pro SP3 Ver 2002 guest on Ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit) host using VMware Player 6.0.6 build 2700073, Workstation 9.0.
I have a bad vmdx and although the guest OS will boot, I get an error message about 20 minutes into the session that the guest can't synchronize with a particular vmdx. I have identified which vmdx has been corrupted and, after closing down the vm, i ran <vmware-vdiskmanager -R> on the particular vmdx in a terminal. Nothing much seems to happen. There is no message displayed. It just goes back to the system prompt.
When I reboot the guest vm, the problem persists.
When I run <vmware-vdiskmanager -R> there is no message. It just returns to the system prompt.
How can I repair the corrupt vmdx without loosing the data stored on that particular vmdx?
