I have a Windows 2012 Hyper-v cluster with two nodes. All my VMs and VHDs reside in the CSV on an Equalogic SAN. Recently, I had a data VHD become corrupted on my file server, so I moved all my data from the corrupted VHD to a new VHD. After that was complete and the server was back online, I copied my old corrupted VHD onto an external USB hard drive. Now I am trying to access this old VHD by mounting it directly on the 2012 node and I get an error:
Couldnt mount file
the disk image isnt initialized, contains partitions that arent recognizable, or contains volumes that havent been assigned driver letters. please use the disk management snap-9in to make sure that the disk, partitions, and volumes are in a usable state.
When i go to disk management, I go ahead and set it to online and then it just shows up as a drive with no partition on it. Have i lost this data? what can i do to get this vhd to mount properly again so i can recover some data from it?
