Unable to start virtual machine and snapshots are missing from snapshot Manager.

Hi,

 

I'm new here in the VMWARE communities and I'm not sure if I'm posting this inquiry in the right place. I'm currently using VMWARE Workstation 9. The issue that I'm having is that I cannot start my virtual machine. The error says:

This is a snapshot of my settings:

When I try to browse for a snapshot I can go back to, I get this snapshot manager screen:

I checked the files on the virtual machine directory. The snapshot files are still listed there.

 

I have tried troubleshooting the issue by editing the vm config file to use another vmdk. I got an error saying something about the parent and child not being in sync. Sorry I don't have a screenshot of that. I also tried to make a copy of one of the other vmdks and rename it to correspond with the name of the missing file. That also got me nowhere. I have tried researching on the net but I get answers for using other vmware products like ESXi or vSphere. So I'm not sure if they are applicable to my current situation.

 

At this point, I'm hoping to recover my machine or at least be able to use the snapshots. Please advise.
