How do I convert a VHD to VMDK?

I have made a VHD using DISK2VHD and I wanted to know how to convert the VHD to a VMware VMDK file.

I have tried to download VSphere Converter, but my VMware account refused to send me my account activation emails.

If there is any other software or converters I can use, that would be great

Why is this vmdk image corrupted? VERR_VD_VMDK_INVALID_HEADER

What Happened

• Two Virtualbox VMs were running normally. I shut VMs down then shutdown Win10.
  
• I bought a stand-alone cloning device and did an offline bit-for-bit clone of old HDD to Samsung SSD.
  
• I installed the new drive and rebooted from the Samsung SSD. Every application and file works as it did before, however, when I open my VMs I get the this new error.
  

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine
Could not open the medium c:\users\snapshots/{a557a07bc-e6ae-4520-b361-4a84137}.vmdk
VMDK: descriptor does not start as expected in c:\users\snapshots/{a557a07bc-e6ae-4520-b361-4a84137}.vmdk
{VERR_VD_VMDK_INVALID_HEADER}
E_FAIL (0x800040005)


What I have done so far

I found links to this error suggesting to
Download the VDD kit from VMWare

Question

This doesn't make sense. Internet searches suggest using a recovery tool.
What I want to know is why this is the only file corrupted if I did a bit-for-bit clone? Why do I need these VMware tools for what appears to be just a snapshot?

thanks
