The CID chain is used to ensure data integrity in snapshot chains. Depending on how long the newly created VM was powered on and the size of the snapshot, you may experience more or less data corruption/data loss after fixing the snapshot chain manually.
So please provide the requested information (size and time stamps for the .vmdk files) and for how long you had the newly created VM powered on. In addition to this please use e.g. WinSCP to download the .vmdk descriptor files from the datastore and attach them to a reply post.
