I have a corrupted drive and now this file does not work. Is there any way to help it run?

Thanks and please help me

The screensots do not help much without knowing your configuration, and what you are trying to do.

Please explain what you are trying to do, provide a complete list of files that are in the VM's folder as well as the vmware.log file from the VM's folder.

For the file list, please run dir *.* > filelist.txt and attach the filelist.txt to your next reply.

Not sure about the first message, it suggests you’ve tried to open the VMDK file directly rather than the VMX file which is the descriptor of the VM.

Your second screenshot doesn’t show the VMX file, do you have that?

If you do have the VMX, but your snapshot chain is damaged there may be some users here who can help, but I’m not one of them.

From the file listing screenshot you have a lot of snapshots on that VM, each additional snapshot creates a dependency on more files - so generally you should use snapshots sparingly.

due to corrupted data storage.
 i can only recover like that. 
Is there any software that can open these files? 
It is very important to me.
I can read it from file.txt and see if I have anything I need?

Thanks/.

VMEM and VMSN files are not the only files which make up a VM.

Virtual Machine Files​

Where are your VMX and VMDK files?

The message "SN 1-000001-s003.vmdk cant be opened  directly" is normal.

You also will receive that with a healthy vmdk.

But it shows that you tried an illegal operation.

If you assign a slice of a vmdk you do not assign a virtual disk.
Assign the descriptor instead - in your case that would be "SN 1-000001.vmdk"
