VMWare Workstation 5.5. Image Not Booting to OS

[madler]

After starting a VMWare image in Workstation 5.5, the BIOS Screen is displayed, and then the image is not booting to the OS, displaying just a cursor in the upper left of the VMWare screen.

This particular image has been used in the past and hosts Windows Server 2003. The issue began after the host Operating System was shut down due to some unknown issue.

Many thanks for your assistance!

Delete the *.nvram file and start again - go into BIOS and set boot-sequence.

Done. I deleted the file. I also removed the floppy from the BIOS, and moved the Hard Drive up one order.

I am still experiencing the issue.

[continuum]

Hmm - don't see a problem in the log.

I'd boot the VM as it is now with a LiveCD and check the filesystem - also check if the bootpartition is really bootable.

Do you remember what caused the issue in the first place ?

Please also try to reset the virtual BIOS (delete the *.nvram file)

[madler]

Maybe a dumb question, and I'll admit I haven't read some of the FAQ's, but how do I boot the VM as it is not with a LiveCD? IS there a link with instructions you could point me to?

[madler]

As another thought, all I really need to do is get 1 folder off of that Image, and then I can rebuild a new Image. Is it possible to extract specified folders from a VMWare when it is not bootable like this one?

[continuum]

Do you have a Knoppix or BartPE-iso ?

If yes edit the VM using the hardware-wizzard. Instead of the CD-device configured now - point to your BartPE-iso. Save configuration.

Next start VM and hit ESC so that you can select the boot-device. Select CD-rom and boot up

[continuum · Accepted solution]

Depends - if the data inside the vmdk is not to corrupted you can use either VMware's vmount-tool or Ken Katos vdk.exe to mount the disk with your host.

You can also copy the directory via network after you booted into a LiveCD.

By the way - if you don't have a BartPE - get one. A Windows-user without a working LiveCD is like a car without a spare wheel in the trunk.
