recover data from vmdk file

Hello,

 

I'm trying to recover a vmdk file or get data out of it. When i try:

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -e YYY.vmx
Failed to open the disk 'YYY.vmx' : The file specified is not a virtual disk (0xf00003ebf).
Failed to open the disk 'YYY.vmx' : The file specified is not a virtual disk (0xf00003ebf).
Disk chain is not consistent: The file specified is not a virtual disk (0xf00003ebf).
if i try to run it againt the vmdk file itself, not the -sXXX.vmdk, I get the same error.
If I try to mount it I get:
vmware-mount.exe k: YYY.vmdk
Unable to mount the virtual disk. The disk may be in use by a virtual machine, may not have enough volumes or mounted under another drive letter. If not, verify that the file is a valid virtual disk file.

The disks and VM machine is in suspended mode.

 

Is there anything that I can do to recover the data in the vmdk files?

 

Thank you.
