I have a VM with Windows 7 installed in it, currently running with Fusion 6, but it was created several years ago with an earlier version, maybe 4 or 5, don't remember. There are multiple snapshots in the VM, and one (1) VMDK file related to one of these snapshots happens to be on a physical drive that's throwing read errors.
The file in question is called "Windows 7 x64-000002-s001.vmdk". I understand this is a "redo-log" file.
Due to the read errors, I can't copy that file to a new location. All other files in the VM copy just fine, I rsync'ed the entire folder and only one file is unreadable. It seems I don't have backup either - yes, stupid, but that's how it is.
Can I recover from this situation somehow? I can definitely live without that snapshot if I can just get the machine running consistently from it's current state.
