Virtual PC lost parent disk for differential vhd
- by SeeR
2 years ago I had that brilliant idea to create base Windows XP disk which all of my VM with XP will use.
Of course it ended that I had only one VM with XP :-).
Today I needed to make some free space on my HDD so I found one not used VM named "Windows XP" which had only 5GB. I deleted it as fast as possible :-) and of course I used shift to not use "Recycle bin".
Now when I want to run my XP VM I have following error: "One of the parent hard disks of ... is missing."
It's not a problem for me as soon as I can restore files from this differential vhd that I have right now.
So:
I have differential disk with files I need
I don't have parent disk
My question is: How can I restore files from this differential hvd?
