Hello,

The problem you are encountering can be resolved if you follow the methods given below. After each method check whether the problem is resolved or not and perform these operations in order given below.

1. Restart the Mac.

2. If, virtual machine has a snapshot ensure that its parent disks have not been modified or altered.

3. You, need to confirm that you have the valid virtual machine configuration file.

4. Confirm, that you have virtual disk file for each virtual disk defined. If you are missing on any of the files (.vmx) or a split disk file, restore them.

5. Confirm that virtual machine is compatible with your system configuration and operating system.

If it is, the issue can be with the system and the OS installation.

If not, then restore the virtual machine from backup or recreate it.
