title: Can't open imported VMDK file
body: <p>I downloaded a VM instance from the web and launched / modified it using  it using VMware Workstation 12 Player</p>
  
  <p>I would now like to transfer this image onto an ESXi host running VMware ESXi Version 5.5.0.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried copying the working directory "C:\Users\xxxx\Downloads\Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64\Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64" to the ESXi datastore and have tried to import it using a couple of methods:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>I tried browsing to the Datastore, right clicking the "Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64.vmx" file and selecting "add to inventory"</p></li>
  <li><p>I tried creating a virtual machine, selecting the option to use and existing disk and pointed it at the VMDK file.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Both methods allow me to create the machine, but fail with the following error when I try to power it up.</p>
  
  <p>Failed to start the virtual machine.
  Module DiskEarly power on failed. 
  Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/4dc219c6-2eb825c6-0119-d8d3855f4a40/Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64/Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. 
  The system cannot find the file specified
  VMware ESX cannot find the virtual disk "/vmfs/volumes/4dc219c6-2eb825c6-0119-d8d3855f4a40/Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64/Kali-Linux-2.0.0-vm-amd64.vmdk". Verify the path is valid and try again. </p>
  
  <p>I have checked and I can see the VMDK file on the Datastore.</p>
  
  <p>I don't know if it of any significance, but the files on my desktop are broken down into multiple VMDK files and when I copied it to the Datastore, it turned them into one large VMDK file.</p>
