browse to the datastore and check if the specified vmdk file is present there. If not check if you have the corresponding flat.vmdk file, we can recreate the missing vmdk file using that. If you go to edit settings and select harddisk and check what is the size shown there, in case if vmdk is missing it will show the size as 0.
