Help with bad file move and missing snapshot

$

All,

 

Last night I attempted to move my VM (with a single snapshot) from one datastore to another. In doing so, one of the files must not have copied because when  I tried to power on the machine it complained about a file being missing (I don't remember what). One of the threads I read said to remove and readd the virtual drive. When I did this, the machine now boots up but it's missing the data from the single snapshot file. The problem is that the base OS (without the snapshot) is over a month old now.

 

How do I go about "fixing" this so that the VM boots up with the snapshot attached? I have both the original vmdk and a second file with the server name and then "-000001-delta.vmdk".

 

What files can I provide to help with this issue?

 

THANK YOU!
