VMware Virtual Machine Cannot Resume


Sometimes after suspending the virtual machine in VMWare it cannot resume and gives the following error
VMware Player unrecoverable error: (vmx)
Exception 0xc0000006 (disk error while paging) has occurred.
A log file is available in "__A folder Path__".  A core file is available in "__A folder Path__".  Please request support and include the contents of the log file and core file.  
To collect data to submit to VMware support, run "vm-support".
We will respond on the basis of your support entitlement.
And to fix that do the following:
  1. If you do not need that virtual machine you can delete it and setup a new one 
  2. If you need that virtual machine you can erase the suspended state and return to you virtual machine as if you did not suspend it, to do so follow these steps: 

  • Go to the folder contains the virtual machine.. 
  • Search for the the file with extension .vmem and have the name as same as the name of the virtual machine. 
  • Delete the .vmem file and then go to VMware workstation and run your virtual machine. You will get an error message, just press OK. 
  • When you asked about you virtual machine select I moved it. 
  • You will be asked whether to take the ownership for this virtual machine or not, and you have to take the ownership. 
  • When you are asked whether to discard the suspend state or not, you have to discard it.
Now your virtual machine will run normally as if you never suspended it.

Thanks for reading

    You can do this by removing vmss(for eg:ubuntu.vmss)(virtual machine suspended state file instead of .vmem).And then Restart the virutual machine.Thats it

      Delete the .vmem file
      and when VMware prompts you, choose delete the suspension and continue
