Fusion 4 Win 7 VM unable to boot in Fusion 8

I am attempting to boot up an old Fusion 4 VM (Win7 64x) in Fusion 8 (on 10.10). I pulled this VM from a backup of my last (now dead) Macbook. I transferred the VM over, and upon boot I get:

 

Cannot open the disk '/Users/smorris/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7 x64.vmwarevm/Windows 7 x64.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

Module 'Disk' power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

 

I do not know the current state of the VM. I do not think it was fully shutdown though when it was backed up, but rather just in a suspended state. Is there much hope for recovery? If not, is there any way to recover the Windows key? (probably a stretch) I'm okay with re-bulding the Windows install.

 

Ultimately I am trying to not purchase another copy of Windows here...
