"The file specified is not a virtual disk" after Host Power Fail

$

Hi,

 

I had a power bump on my Desktop running Workstation 9.  The virtual machines I was running on, which I believe was in a suspended state when this happened but I could be wrong, now won't start.  When I "Power on this virtual machine" I get the error dialog - "The file specified is not a virtual disk".

 

The configuration for that particular VM Hard-drive is pointing to a file called mypc.mydomain.local-00003.vdmk

I browser via Windows Expolrer(My Host is 7 Pro) and the file is there but it's 0kb. 

 

I can see other vdmk files there - mypc.mydomain.local-000002.vdmk.  It's not zero, it's 300 MB.  

 

Can anyone help me or guide me to the right direction? 

 

I should note, I had another VM running on the host that is experiencing the exact same problem as above when there was a power bump.

 

Thanks again,

 

Jer
