    Hello Sandra Diaz, if you are unable to recover the data from the corrupted VHD file manually then you need to take the Help of DR specialist or company.

    Yes, Eddie Thwan is right if your VHD file is highly corrupted and you want to recover the data from the corrupt VHD file then you can prefer Hyper-V recovery software. Which helps to restore data in simple and hassle-free way. Please follow the instruction below to recover the data from corrupted VHD files

    1. Download and install the software
    2. Browse the location of VHD file
    3. Select the partition which you want to recover.
    4. Scan the partition by clicking on Scan button.
    5. Now select the recovery mode from the quick scan and the advance scan.
    6. View the contents of VHD file items.
