A damaged virtual drive often means losing many or all of the files it stored, but don't give up too soon. Try SecureRecovery for Virtual Drives. This software is a great tool for corrupted virtual drives repair, including repair of corrupted VHD drives, IMG drives, and XVA drives.
Features
With SecureRecovery for Virtual Drives, you can restore a variety of file systems, including FAT and NTFS. Among the supported storage devices are monolithicSparse and monolithicFlat virtual machine disks (VMDK), as well as fixed, differencing, and dynamic virtual hard disks (VHD).
The following are also supported:

SecureRecovery for Virtual Drives is bundled with a backup plan in case its standard process does not work on a certain file. The data browser allows you to target certain files from a larger set to isolate, extract, and repair, which means you can give vital unrecovered files a second try.
Before purchasing the full license, we encourage you to try the free demo version. After running the demo version on your damaged storage device, you will know how much of it can be recovered and what to expect from the full version.
Limitations
There are a few types of storage that SecureRecovery for Virtual Drives cannot repair, including linked disks and encrypted XVA and OVA disks. The following types of VMDK disks are also unsupported:
- VmfsRawDeviceMap
- vmfsPassthroughRawDeviceMap
- vmfsRaw
- fullDevice
- partitionedDevice.
If you have only encountered a single corrupt file, or for some other reason suspect that the issue may be with the file rather than the storage device, then you should try one of our other products. SecureRecovery for Virtual Drives is meant to repair full drives rather than specific files.
Also, remember that the demo version will not restore corrupted virtual drives. Instead it replaces repairable folders, files, and their structures with demo restorations. You will need to purchase the full version in order to access restored files. Any files that do not show up in the demo recovery are unrepairable, even by the full version.
