Restoring VMs with snapshots can be tricky.
I strongly recommend that the first thing you do, is to backup the VM's files/folder, to have a way back in case something doesn't work as expected.

Here's what I like you to do:

  1. close VMware Workstation
  2. create a new directory on the E: drive (e.g. "E:\VM-Rescue")
  3. run dir E:\VM\shubra\Shoubra\*.* /one > E:\VM-Rescue\filelist.txt
  4. extract the files from the attached .zip archive to E:\VM-Rescue
  5. Drag&Drop the VM's folder onto Get-VmdkHeader.cmd (this will extract the Metadata from the .vmdk files)
  6. copy the VM's .vmsd, its .vmx, and .vmx~ files as well as the latest vmware.log to E:\VM-Rescue
  7. compress/zip E:\Rescue, and attach the .zip archive to your next reply

Note: The attached scrips will only extract metadata, i.e. no user data.
