Windows 10: My files are stuck in .vhdx file

:)

 

DualBoot Windows 10 with native boot on vhdx file.

Thanks for the tip but it's been a long time since I made the script and I don't remember much.

I'd like to check everything with you.

I read this tutorial to create the VHDX Create and Set Up New VHD or VHDX File in Windows 10. and this Problem creating GPT VHD automatically even if I haven't understood much.

For the installation of windows on the vhd I had found a tutorial but now I can't find it.

Can you help me find the remaining tutorials?

Do you know if there is a script already ready?

In the meantime, I fix the script a little (which is not finished) and place it as soon as it is done.

This is the steps in the script

1. backup bcd
2. create vhdx
3. apply windows image to vhdx (install?)
4. add entry in bcd
5. restore bcd

 

What should I do with the vhdx file after formatting my laptop?

A VHDX file is a "virtual hard drive" file.

I suspect that it's a system image of your computer as it existed before you changed from Windows 10 to Windows 7.

Although you have no present plans to go back to Windows 10, I suggest that you keep a copy of this VHDX file on an external drive somewhere as part of your general backup strategy.

How do I recover files from vhdx?

Hi dear, My name is Erfan and I'm really sorry that you're experiencing this issue but I'll be more than happy to help you!

It's possible that there is an issue with the vhdx file itself that is preventing you from recovering your files using the methods you have tried so far. However, there are other options you can try.

- Use Data Recovery Software: You can use data recovery software to try to recover files from the vhdx file. There are several options available, both free and paid, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, Recuva, and Disk Drill. These tools can help you recover data from various types of storage devices, including virtual hard drives.

- Convert the VHDX file to VHD: If the vhdx file is not working, you can try converting it to a VHD file format using the Hyper-V Manager console. Once converted, you can attach the VHD to a virtual machine and attempt to recover your files.

- Use PowerShell to Repair the VHDX File: If you have access to PowerShell, you can try to repair the vhdx file. First, run the command "Get-VHD" to get information about the vhdx file. Then, run the command "Repair-VHD" to attempt to repair any issues with the file.

- Use a Third-Party VHDX Recovery Tool: If none of the above methods work, you can try using a third-party VHDX recovery tool such as Kernel for VHD Recovery or SysTools Hyper-V Recovery. These tools are specifically designed to recover data from VHDX files and may be able to help you recover your files.

Before attempting any of these methods, it's important to create a backup of the vhdx file to avoid data loss.
