Virtual Machine instance file *. vmdk reuse after VMware reinstalls the system

Example: After VMware reinstalls the system, the virtual machine name *. vmdk file is reused.

I. Problem Description

If the system disk has a bad track and cannot be mounted, the system directly changes the hard disk. However, the Newly Installed VMware cannot open "Custom *. vmdk" (this is the instance for creating a new Virtual Machine) in the open mode ).

Ii. Solutions

Solution steps:

1. Open the VM and create a new instance on the same platform as "Custom *. vmdk", for example, awmxp.

2. Find the disk path of the VM and change the name of the original "Custom *. vmdk" to awmxp. vmdk.
