So I had a win7 VM, and I added a virtual disk on a new datastore.
The new disk came up fine on windows as a new drive, and I was able to format it etc.
Now I basically unplugged the whole system, and booted Linux instead of ESX, and ran all over the disk on which my datastore was.
Next I booted back into vmware, and saw that the windows VM was in a 'suspended' state, and if I try to resume it, it complains about the missing disk file -
"
"
But it does not resume successfully. I tried to edit settings to remove the 'Hard Disk 2' from its devices, but that is disabled since I suppose the VM is suspended.
I don't care about the virtual disk or any data on it, I don't even need it to be in windows - I just want to boot in 
Is there any way to get out of this state without having to delete the whole vm and re-installing windows?
Thanks!
