The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.....VMWare 9

Hi,

I've just upgraded from V8 to V9 and changed the VMs to use V9 hardware.

 

I've been using V8 and previous releases with no issues but in the space of 2 days I have no lost 2 VMs to the above error. VMWorkstation hangs on boot and becomes unresponsive. One had XP as the Guest OS and the other had Win 7 Enterprise. I put the first loss down to user error and I threw it away. The second one is more problematic and I am now losing confidence in VMWare.

 

VM Workstation runs on a Windows 7 laptop and I have run CHKDSK on the host and it reported no issues. I do not have antivirus running.

 

Is there any way to recover from this? Is there any way of preventing it???? Any ideas as to what might be causing the problem?

 

 

Cheers
