I describe here the errors I encountered while using VMware Workstation and how I was able to solve them

Error: message "module disk power on failed" at VM startup

Explaination: This happens when VMware fails to release lock on virtual disk, for example after a power failure

Resolution: with VMware Workstation closed, check whether the VM's folder contains files, or sub-directories with a .lck (lock) extension, and delete them.
