I received this message when I went to boot up today, any help would be appreciated:
Disk /Users/bobcaplan/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 10 x64.vmwarevm/Virtual Disk-s011.vmdk may be inconsistent.
I will not boot and takes be to the log off screen
To find out whether the .vmdk file has errors that can be fixed, please provide the following information in the first step:
André
The configured disk size is 100 GB
Where would I find the vmware.log file?
How do I obtain the output of Is -al and what is it?
Sorry,but if I knew anything about PC's I wouldn't be using a Mac with Fusion. I'd be using a PC
Please run the "Collect Support Information" command from the VMware Fusion (menu bar) > Help > Collect Support Information, and then attach the .zip file it created on your Desktop to a reply post. This should contain the details I need along with additional information.

I created the zip file but don't see how to create a zip vile in this thread. I started a new one (Think) with the .zip file but it is in a different location apparently
The log file shows different errors. Disk-s001.vmdk has logical errors, and Disk-s011.vmdk shows IO-Errors.
Please check whether the disk on which the VM is stored has logical, or even physical errors.
Try to copy Disk-s011.vmdk to another disk to see if this works, or if you get IO-Errors.

PS: The reply box contains an Attach link in the lower right.
André - thanks I will give that a try.
BTW -This reply box only has @mention in the lower right corner and I don't see an Attach link there.
Unable to make a copy, I get an I/O error message. If I were to try to upgrade to Fusion 11 could that solve my problem? I am willing to pay for support if the problem can be solved and reluctant to erase all my files and start over.
Hi,
PMJI, if you are getting I/O errors when trying to copy the vmdk file to another disk then the underlying problem is almost certainly physical hardware failing.
Check the host logs and run some disk checks.
I do hope you have a backup of that file, although the reason this topic exists probably means you haven't.
Also be careful putting back copies of a single disk slice though.
Try to make a copy of the VM to external media asap, before trying to fix it.
You can try using cp
