A virtual machine is a replica of computer system. It provides all the essential features that are accessible on a physical system. Virtual machines are used when a user wants to employ different operating systems on the top of another OS. Generally, virtual machines like VMware are widely used for testing new applications, experiencing other systems and other purposes.<\/p>\n

VMware is a most popular brand that deals with cloud computing and virtualbox. VMware virtualbox enables a user to run more than one applications and operating systems on single physical server as Virtual machine. It saves entire hard disk data of Virtual machine as .vmdk file extension.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a>Step 2: Corruptions in VMDK files<\/h3>\nAs we have discussed earlier that VMware contains all its data in the form of VMDK file format. These files are vulnerable to corruption. Some of the reasons for its corruption are hard disk problem, hardware and software problems etc. Also, some other reasons are:<\/p>\n
\n- If VMDK flat or VMDK file is corrupted.<\/li>\n
- Missing of descriptor file.<\/li>\n
- Description section of the VMDK flat file is incorrect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
If the VMDK file is missing and you power on the virtual machine, it displays the following errors:<\/p>\n
\n- “The system cannot find the file specified.”<\/li>\n
- “Failed to power on. A file was not found.”<\/li>\n
- “Unable to find file”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n
<\/a>Step 3: Need for full version VMware Data Recovery Tool<\/h3>\nThe manual methods that are used to perform recovery of VMDK files are not that much easy to execute. Using these methods is a tedious task. Also, these methods work for some but not for others. So, most of the users don’t employ these manual methods perform and use a full version VMware recovery tool to recover corrupted VMDK files.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
