[RLUG] VMWare question

Need some help please.

Managed to lock up my system somehow when I had to change batteries on
my wireless mouse.  Required a hard boot.

When I attempted to bring up my guest OS in VMWare, I got the following
error message.

"Cannot open the disk '/home/dennis/Win2KPro/Win2KPro-000001.vmdk' or
one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Reason: Failed to lock the file."

I have tried deleting the Win2KPro.vmx.WRITELOCK file   AND re-running
the vmware-config.pl.  NO change - same results.

Help!!! - I need to get back into some files.!

Thanks


Dennis
