Mount VHDX files in Explorer

- [Instructor] Sometimes when we have problems starting … a virtual machine, we can fix the problem by mounting … it as a drive in Windows Explorer. … We can also use this for a hopelessly corrupted virtual … machine where we need to recover files. … Let's say in this particular case, … this virtual machine is unbootable … or we want to see the files in Windows Explorer. … So what we do is we right click … and go to settings and then we go … to where it says hard drive to find the VHDX file … and we can see it's in our E drive in this path. … So if we go to that path, we can see there is our VHDX file. … We simply right click on it and choose mount … and we can see down at the bottom … that a new drive has popped up and it says local disk F. … So if you click on that, now we see the expanded VHDX file … in our Windows Explorer mounted as the F drive. … So from here we can go ahead and double click on, … say the Windows folder, … we can go to any of the other folders … and we can make any changes we may need. …
