Thank you very much for this post! I had a 2008 P2V that would not install the VMware tools. I tried numerous suggested fixes, but your suggestion to add the offending disk to another VM and chkdsk on it worked! I was able to install the tools on the initial VM after correcting errors on the disk under the other VM. Thanks so much!!!
