Well I had  the primary vmdk and two from snapshots. I followed this KB to recover the VM by creating a new VM and adding the exisitng vmdk as hard drive. But that did not recover it with the snapshots. So I just updated it. Then I cloned it to get all the vmdk and files together in one folder. Now it is my new parent and its workig fine. Not sure if there is a better way in this situation.
