Recover corrupted vmdk

I didn't make a backup and tried transferring a vmdk file and its entire workstation folder from one hard drive to another and I'm quite certain something got corrupted along the way. What are the ways if any to recover the corrupted vmdk? Or if I would be able to pull the contents of the files inside the vmdk file. It is 200gb in size.

If someone here knows the appropriate route that would be a fix, please let me know and I can pay a fair consultation fee for your time as well. thanks

Why do you assume a corrupt vmdk ?
Any error messages in the vmware.log ?
