"The file specified is not a virtual disk" error after machine Kernel Panic'd.

So I'm getting the error "The file specified is not a virtual disk."

 

This was after my mac mini Kernal Panic'd after the environmental temperature got too hot. Drives are SSD drives inside the mini. After force restart, one of my virtual machines still runs fine, but this one does not. It's an Ubuntu CLI only installation running my LAMP web server stuff. My VM has about a half dozen snapshots, so reverting to a previous snapshot would be fine if I could figure out how to do that.

 

Went to this is KB article first:

VMware KB: Resolving the Fusion error: The file specified is not a virtual disk

 

Everything in my files were fine and checked out.

 

Then did this KB article:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1023888

Two of my snapshots had errors and were reported to be repaired by this.

 

Same error still exists after I shutdown Fusion and then re-opened and re-added the Virtual Machine to start it.

 

Help.
