What does fdisk -l show you in the rescue disk? What's in /sys/class/block? Does it mention any devices in dmesg? Linux must have been able to access the disk in the first place somehow to get installed in the first place...

NAME
vmhgfs - vmware kernel module SYNOPSIS
modprobe vmhgfs DESCRIPTION
This is kernel filesystem module. None of the Tools components depend on vmhgfs, nor does it have any dependencies of its own, so it can be loaded at any time in the boot process. When mounting, one must use an NFS-like "<host>:<export>" syntax. The <host> field must be ".host", while the <export> field can be "/", a path to a specific Shared Folder, or a path to a subdirectory within that Shared Folder. Note that mounting may fail if Shared Folders are disabled in the host; don't be alarmed. The vmhgfs filesystem supports a plethora of mount options, run vmware-hgfsmounter(8) -h to see them. We typically exclude vmhgfs from the locate database as crawling the Shared Folders is time consuming. To do this, add "vmhgfs" to PRUNEFS within updatedb's configuration file, typically found in /etc/updatedb.conf. We also typically mount vmhgfs via: mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/hgfs Or by adding this line to /etc/fstab: .host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0 The net effect is that all Shared Folders appear and disappear at /mnt/hgfs as they're added or removed. OPTIONS
vmhgfs has no options. SEE ALSO
