Can't run any of my existing VMs on Windows 7 64bit

Hello everybody...

 

I've been stuck for a couple of days trying to run my existing VMs on my new laptop which is running Windows 7 pro 64bit SP1.

 

I have 2 VMs :

 

1st) Windows 2003 32-bit: whenever I run it I get:

 

Error while powering on: Unable to open file "D:\Virtual Machines\vm_win2003ee_oracle\mx7116_d1\disk1.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.

 

while the vmdk file exists...

 

2nd) Windows xp 32 bit: whenever I run it i get:

 

Error while powering on: The file specified is not a virtual disk.

 

Notes:

1- No log files generated.

2- I've reinstalled and repaired multiple times.

Those VMs worked fine for me for a long time. I even have a backup of them which I restored but still I can't run those VMs.

 

Thanks a lot for you in advance... I really need it to work ASAP... I've even been thinking to format my lapto and install windows 32 bit OS. It will be a hussle for me in case I have to reinstall my laptop system....
