Followed the steps and it worked perfectly for me.  I was able to rescue all my important files :)

Ok it's good for someone who has vmdk image of machine which is not in LVM and not a part of it instead a simple /dev/sda drive. I have a problem with corrupted vmdk file which is only one of the physical drive added in Guest OS to VolumeGroup. So I can't read files from it I need the whole file.
