I would do this next:
1. read old vmware.logs to figure out how many slices were used to build the original vmdk.
2. probably the 2 slices you got are not all - so I would create empty slices with a helper VM to complete the vmdk.
3. then I would fix the partitiontable with a helper VM
4. use photorec to search the disk for Quicken files
