I created a VMware 9.x VM from a VHD file and took three snapshots. The VM worked fine in VMware. It also worked fine when I ran it in VMware Player 5.0.1 from a networked machine. I took the drive with the VM and VHD files and attached the drive to another machine by USB. When I try to run the VM in Player in that other machine, I'm prompted to find the VHD file. I browse to the VHD, but Player will not start the VM and renews its comment that it can't find the VHD. On the latest system, the VHD is at I:\doe.vhd. Here's my vmx:
