Ok.. all files there! The -flat.vmdk is the most important one.

About Error 18 there is VMware Knowledge Base article.

Can you paste your *.vmx

cat VMPS2K12.vmx

La solucion que encontre a este problema fue:

1) supresion de la maquina virtual del inventario.

2) Creacion de una nueva maquina utilizando los discos de la maquina afectada.
