VMware - I/O error - how to fix?
- by Maya-G
I'm running XP pro on VMware - it mounts and runs just fine.
However, if I power down the VM and try to copy it, or even if I try to do a simple Mac Backup (using Carbon Copy Cloner), I get an i/o error at one very specific VMDK file.
Here's a sample of the error - this from CCC:
"12/20 22:49:30 Detected input/output error
12/20 22:49:33 rsync: read errors mapping "/Users/blahblah/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/WindowsXP-Professional150G.vmwarevm/WindowsXP-Professional150G-000001-s065.vmdk": Input/output error (5)"
How can I regain my ability to do backups of my Mac without this I/O error?
