Browse FOLDERS in a VHDX

Is there a way to Mount a VHDX so that File Explorer can be used to browse the Folders inside that User Profile vDisk? "Mount" (and double-clicking) give errors, and while "frxcontext" shows me the User's REGISTRY (which is useful), I don't see how one can achieve a File-Explorer-style, Folder-browsing scenario... Thanks.

Hi @GregKern-6654,

Did you try attaching the .VHDX file via the Disk Management on any Windows Server or Windows Client?

If that doesn't work, then you'll most likely need a third-party software to browse them, there are some out there.


If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you!


Best regards,
Leon

Hi

If the file is correct, no error, you can open it via diskpart to read the content.

command prompt (as a admin)
diskpart
select vdisk file="[location of vhdx]"
attach vdisk

From that point it should be visible in File Explorer.

If you get an error let us know what it's

Thanks

You must convert disk extension.vhdx to vhd.

The powershell cmdlet is convert-vhd

Other reason, Azure subscription type
