Unable to open vmdk file. The system cannot find the file specified vmware workstation 10

I have a virtual machine created with two Hard Disk (SCCI), using one vmx file. For some reasons I am getting an error "Unable to open one of the vmdk file. The system cannot find the file specified" But the file is there in the folder. I can see that the vmdk file that is not opening is missing some files

SherePoint2010-s001.vmdk

SherePoint2010-s002.vmdk

SherePoint2010-s003.vmdk

SherePoint2010-s004.vmdk

Missing ------->SherePoint2010-s005.vmdk to SherePoint2010-s008.vmdk

SherePoint2010-s009.vmdk

I have attached my vmx file and the log file for help.
