VMware VM Failed to Start

 To start a newly created virtual machine, we got an error like following image.


VM failed to boot or VM failed to load from hard drive or CDROM. If the firmware type of VM is selected as "UEFI", then this error message will be appeared. Just like as following image:-


To resolve this issue, simply just change the firmware type to "BIOS". Then everything will be okey.
Step by step process is shown below:-

First of all, we have to edit the virtual machine settings. To edit the settings, select "Edit virtual machine settings".


Now go to "Option" tab from virtual machine settings.

Now click on "Advanced" and change "Firmware type" to "BIOS". 


Finally clink on OK. Run your virtual machine again. Hopefully, it will start new VM again without any error.
