Get a VMDK ESX on Windows

Hi guys,.

I have a fundamental task to do, I need extract several files to a VMDK who has been infected with a virus on a Windows 7 computer by launching the VMDK file in offline mode.  The VMDK is a version 8 Virtual Machine running on a VMware vSphere environment 5.1.0 construction 1123961.

For editing offline VMDK files, VMware has a tool called VMware - mount.exe which is part of the virtual disk (VDDK) deployment.  I downloaded "VMware-vix-disklib - 5.1.0 - 774844.i386.exe" on the site of VMware and installed on a Windows 7 32-bit workstation.

I then copied the Virtual Machine to the Windows 7 workstation by downloading it from the VMware VSphere client data store.

When you try to mount the VMware VMDK in offline mode, I get the following error:

"Unable to mount the virtual drive.  The disk can be used by a virtual machine, may not have enough volumes or mounted under a different drive letter.  If not, check that the file is a valid virtual disk file. »

I have attached the errors in this forum topic.  I followed the instructions for VMware - mount.exe exactly, what I am doing wrong?


Kind regards

Clint

Hello

It seems that you get the "raw data" in *-flat.vmdk (ang-pth-vpn1-dishhard). Try putting the hard "descriptor" without "-flat ' (ang - pth - vpn1.vmdk) in the same directory and editing this one instead.
