Moving a VM to another Drive

$

Hi,

 

I have moved my virtual machine from my C drive to my external E drive. I have done this with other VM and I can normally start them up fine. However this time it appears my VM still wants to refer back to the C drive.

 

The error log follows:

Any assistance as to why this might be happening would be appreciated.
