I am running W2k8R2 and have a few VM's on it. We had to power down for the weekend and I did so gracefully. On Monday when I powered everything back up all but one virtual machine came back. One remained in a saved state and when I tried to start it I just this error message.
Microsoft synthetic SCSI Controller (instance id) Failed to Power on with error ' the system cannot find the specified file' (0x80070002) virtual machine id.
I was also unable to turn it off as the option was grayed out.
I found instructions that said to delete the saved state and then try to restart, but no luck the instructions then said to remove the virtual network connection and then add the connection back and restart, no luck.
I am not sure why this happened. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this virtual machine back running again.
I dont want to recreate a new vm every time this happens, there has to be a fix out there.
any help is greatly appreciated.
