Cannot open the disk '/Users/coryniu/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

Reason: The partition table on the physical disk has changed since the disk was created. Remove the physical disk from the virtual machine, then add it again.

Anyone know if there's a way to unbreak this? Thanks.

Well, if your VMWare Fusion Virtual Machine was based on your BootCamp partition... that is easy, delete the VM from the listing when you launch VMWare Fusion (that should work, though if you are unsure about risking it, just do what I say next :))

Now, make a new VM based on your BootCamp Partition. It takes almost no time, and doesn't change anything. Since any changes oyu made to your VM were also changed in the partition, and vice versa, then there is no harm in simply making it again.

Highlight the VM and press delete on the keyboard.
