recover data from a vmdk file

Hello

I'm trying to recover a vmdk file or get data out of it. When I try:

VMware - vdiskmanager.exe - e YYY.vmx
Could not open the disc "YYY.vmx": the specified file is not a virtual disk (0xf00003ebf).
Could not open the disc "YYY.vmx": the specified file is not a virtual disk (0xf00003ebf).
Drive chain is not consistent: the specified file is not a virtual disk (0xf00003ebf).
If I try to run it against the vmdk file itself, not the - sXXX.vmdk, I get the same error.
If I try to mount it, I get:
VMware - mount.exe k: YYY. VMDK
Impossible to mount the virtual drive. The disk can be used by a virtual machine, may not be enough volumes or mounted under another drive letter. If not, check that the file is a valid virtual disk file.

The discs and the VM machine is in suspend mode.

Can I do to recover the data in the vmdk files?

Thank you.

What I would try creating a boot of Linux Live OS VM from a Linux Live OS ISO Image with HARD drive pointing to usernamfs - shared_f.vmdk and see if you can see the contents of the disc.  I use Knoppix or Slax to do this but a Linux Live operating system will automatically detect and be able to mount the VHD is fine.  Another way to try to get a look and maybe even pick up a few dates user opens the hard with WinImage as usually, it does not perform the depth verifying that vmware-mount done.

  • Need help to recover data from delta vmdk

    Hello

    I have a big problem.

    He had a guest Ubuntu 8.04 Server installed on VMWare ESXi 4.1

    It is a virtual machine size 200 GB.

    Since then, it was running on 99% complete, I tried to increase the size to help

    vmkfstools x 210 G /vmfs/datastore1/LinuxServer/LinuxServer.vmdk


    But then he started giving the error

    "Failed to open (The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created)."

    We had the hell of the data on the virtual machine, and the admin had not saved any of them.

    And on top of these, the guy who created the virtual machine installed Ubuntu over LVM. ()

    Then I noticed that in the settings of the virtual machine, the HARD drive was made to a vmdk to delta as LinuxServer-000001 - delta.vmdk (81 GB)

    but the main file seems to be LinuxServer - flat.vmdk(210GB).

    To try to start the computer again, I messed all CIDs, now I don't know who is what.

    On one last try, I tried to create an another VM pointed flat vmdk.

    Which seems to start properly, but many files have disappeared.

    Is there a a way to recover the data by using the vmdk delta?

    Please help someone.

    Hi Vishnu,

    I already mentioned in the post where I gave you the files: "what I did is that I reduced the size of the disk original back to 200 GB.

    Basic disk size was brought to 210 GB, but it was originally of 200 GB. However the Flash disk was always set to 200 GB, so I reduced the size of the Original Base i.e. the flat.vmdk disk using the pointer file hard.

    Concerning

  • problems after upgrading firefox. reset this is ugly. created the new profile, but can not recover data from old profile.

    I use firefox on a MacBook pro. Mac OS X version 10.7.5. There was an update of firefox on a day or 2 ago. Since this was done, I was getting 'syntax error' 5 times, each time that a page has been loaded. Some research has suggested that an application or a plug-in called "social fixer" might be the problem but I could not understand how to get rid of it so decided to try to reset Firefox. Minutes passed and a message was on the screen saying the old files of firefox have been been "cleaned" or something, but it seems to be 'stuck' because the progress bar was little jerky. Doesn't it usually doesn't. So I clicked on "Cancel". After that, I couldn't even firefox to start. Looks like my profile is unavailable or inaccessible. Following the instructions found on the support site, I created a new profile and I thought I copied the files from the previous firefox on the new profile, but when I run firefox, it's a blank slate. None of my bookmarks or passwords are there. It must be here somewhere, but I can't seem to understand.

    Looks like there was a problem with updating the profiles.ini file.

    You can try to remove the current profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile where Firefox has not done that.
    You can check if there is a profile folder with a number of attached time stamp and in this case, you can set the location of a profile created in this folder.

    If you need to recover data from an older profile, always in the default location, or as a folder of old data of Firefox on the desktop then see:

  • Recovering data from a Time Machine to an external drive backup

    How to recover data from a backup Time Machine to an external drive?

    I use Time Machine to back up data (photos, videos) on an external drive (drive A) to another external drive (drive/B) separate that I use for Time Machine backups. After performing a backup, the external drive (drive A) appears in TimeMachine and can I recover files that are on the external drive (A) just as I can for the files that are found on the internal hard drive.

    I need to know what to do if I drop my external drive (drive A) completely and you want to recover the Time Machine backup on a new replacement drive?  When I disconnect my external drive (A) and enter the Time Machine, I don't find a way to access the files to recover.  Still... I know they are there!

  • I am recovering data from 720 KB diskettes.

    About 14 years ago I saved about 150 paint files (all illustrations) on 25 Dysan double face, double pre-formatted density 720 KB 3-1/2 "floppy disks.  I am their opening and copy of Windows XP.  Everything works fine, except for two 2 discs.  The program tells me that the disks are not formatted, and I want to format it now?  I said 'no' because I didn't want to erase all data.  It does the same thing at first to a single disc, which later, I was able to copy.  Do anyone knows how I can get back safely the work of these 2 diskettes, or I won't be able to recover this data?  Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

    OK, in this case the best option is to store the answer in a binary table of XMLType (may be a temporary table if you want to) and run the query from there:

    INSERT INTO tmp_xml VALUES(XMLType(response));

    Hi all

    I found my mistake.

    Before you define local variables, which must be registered to the use of the PreDirty() method documents.

    For Boolean data, it will be something like this:

    void CMyBoolDataImpl::Set (bool16 b)

    {

    If (m_data! = b) {}

    PreDirty();

    m_Data = b;

    }

    }
