I noticed that the map button under VM settings -> Hardware -> Hard Disk -> Disk Utilities is now no longer greyed out. At least everything works now, so that's good. The scenarios that I can find online don't apply here (the system was already powered on since it is my secondary drive and there are no system files located on it), so I will be digging a bit deeper. It did report that "an unspecified error occurred (766f6c756d652e63 470)", which is a bit unsettling, though I can't find any relevant info on why that would be. Defragmenting the VM now went off without a hitch. It took a bit longer, which I took to be a good sign in this case, and it found the bad clusters. Never mind, it's fixed! I was a bit suspicious my first chkdsk took all of about 12 seconds, so I decided to rerun it with the /x/r options enabled as well (the initial one was chkdsk D : /f only). I haven't seen this issue being brought up anywhere else, so I hope someone is able to assist me. I'm sure there's a lot of info missing, but I don't know what is and isn't relevant to the case, so feel free to request more. I am currently considering running chksdsk on the host tonight, though I don't really expect this to help, since it seems to be machine-specific.
So far, I have attempted to reinstall VMWare Tools, run dskchk on the guest, and remove and old VMEM file that seemed to have survived a hard system reboot (I suspect this started it), all without success.
This issue seems to be specific to the machine, since when trying to defragment other machines, it works fine. However, whenever I try defragmenting or expanding this particular machine now, I get a message saying: data error (Cyclic redundancy check). I have done this without issues in the past. I am using VMWare Workstation Player 15 and am trying to expand the disk for one of my machines.
