Virtual machine cannot open .vmdk file

The other day my host machine crashed and when I tried to load Windows Server 2008 Virtual Machine from another computer an error message came up on the screen.
"Cannot open the disk 'G:\VirtualMachines\Windows Server\Windows server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Reason: Failed to lock the file.

Didn't realize it's gonna be so easy to fix.

I just delete the .Lck folder within my Windows Server 2008 virtual machine folder and after this without any problem my VM worked fine.
