Fusion records instant non-OS on a different computer using VMWare Workstation 11 virtual

I recently had a guest OS VM frequently crash that had some shots that are associated with.  I had an OS VMDK disk as a secondary data VMDK disk.  I couldn't go back to the snapshot because it would mean that I would lose all my data on my disk of secondary data.

I look forward moved and deleted from the OS disk drives data to another guest VM VMDK and attempted to use it only to see all the files on the secondary data disk.

However, when I tried to mount the drive of secondary data in a guest VM, I couldn't so to find all the files in the snapshot.

Is it possible for me to merge the data between the 2 shots in the drive to have a single consolidated file?

I tried to try to run a command in r - vmware - vdiskmanager.exe, but I think that the parent disk has been converted to a newer version, so he put the 2 discs out of sync and I got this error message:

VMware - vdiskmanager.exe: VixDiskLib: invalid configuration file setting. Failed to read the configuration file.

Cannot convert the disc: the virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created. Content of the virtual disk that ID does not match the ID of parent to the child to the parents content

(0x3e88).

Please advise as to how to get these consolidated data between my photos on my secondary data disk.

Can please provide an example of how to do this using the dsfi.exe command because I'm not familiar with this command and the documentation on the site doesn't seem to much enlighten on how to accomplish what you have described in your answer.

Thanks again.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Assuming that you have checked the first 1536 bytes using dsfo.exe, backup and then edit this file and then use dsfi.exe to inject the file changed in the hard file again by using the following syntax:

DFC

for example: DFC.exe vmname.vmdk 1536 0 modified_file.bin

Prior to the injection of the modified file, check that it sill has the same size and allows to check that only the parentCID has been changed e.g. fc/b extracted_file.bin modified_file.bin .
