Kiran,
Open the esx3-win2003-v0.vmdk file and make sure it contains the correct
name of the flat.vmdk file.
From this log entry it looks like it is still named Windows 2003 R2
EE-flat.vmdk:

Also another thing that stands out is the name of your networks, you'll
need to make sure they exists.

Aaron,
On seeing the log file, I see that it shows .vmdk file not found error. But
the file is actually present in that path. So, is it possible that the file
got locked by any other instance. If so, how do we check that.Or is there
any other possibility..
Please help!
I have pasted a part of the file which shows the error(highlighted).

No problem, thanks.
Unfortunately I'm not seeing any obvious problems with the vmx file.
Is there any information in the vmware log files? They should be in
