I was going to a meeting, so I just folded my laptop shut and was off. After the meeting my vmware disk image was corrupt.
So what to do?
I downloaded the Virtual Disk Development Kit (requires registration), and pretty much followed this recipe: http://blog.ijun.org/2011/10/vmware-specific-virtual-disk-needs.html.
Then attempted to start the VM, but starting it seems to corrupt the disk again, so…
Repaired the disk again, and then mounted it on my laptop, using the vmware-mount command from the Virtual Disk Development Kit. MARK: The mounted drive was only accessible through the same command window where the mount command was run. I was then able to XCOPY all my files, so that I can copy them to a new vmware image and continue my work.
