    I also have been using the Oracle VM VirtualBox in order to open unbootable vhd files.

    Thought I'd share this with the world as I've just had the weekend from hell, I threw everything but the kitchen sink at a corrupted VHD.

    The tool that cam to my rescue was Partition Guru - it's now under the umbrella of Eassos - http://www.eassos.com/

    You can download the trial for free to see if it works, then when it dangles your filenames tantalisingly in front of your eyes you then have to go to the site and pay $69 (£48) for the licence key - a small price to pay in this case, and I have a tool for future use.

    It recovered everything, including my sanity.

    I would like to remind everyone that a VHD is not error free and any valuable data should be backed up routinely.

    Thanks for the info. I 've used the VHD tool in the past, and found it to be very useful. 

    Cheers!

    Windows 7 up disk manager can mount a VHD as a hard disk so it can be used to run CHKDSK or the malicious software removal tool easily.

    Obviously this also allows recovery from a trashed setup.

    There's a tidbit in that article that made me <facepalm>...  The bit about mounting the vhd to the host to run the chkdsk...  I have wasted so much time mounting vhd's to other vms to extend partitions (pre-2008).  Thanks for the most useful thing I have learned today so far.

    Very nice post, I would also recommend to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 and convert your virtual disks from VHD to VHDX. VHDX disks comes with a nice corruption protection just out of the box.

    due to the cost of windows server licenses I run across operations daily with a mixed shop

    there is no compelling reason to convert a VHD to VHDX as there is no real difference outside larger capacity.

    As I have said so many times before, make a fresh backup before the unthinkable happends
