Here's how to recover Data from Virtual Disk files.

To recover data from virtual disk files, you can follow these general steps:

1. Identify the virtual disk format: Determine the virtual disk format you are dealing with. Common virtual disk formats include VMDK (VMware), VHD/VHDX (Microsoft Hyper-V), and VDI (Oracle VirtualBox).

2. Create a new virtual machine: Set up a new virtual machine using virtualization software that supports the virtual disk format you are working with. For example, VMware Workstation, VirtualBox, or Hyper-V.

3. Attach the virtual disk: In the virtual machine settings, attach the virtual disk file as a hard drive. This will allow you to access the disk and its contents.

4. Start the virtual machine: Power on the virtual machine and boot it up. It should detect the attached virtual disk as a new drive.

5. Access the data: Once the virtual machine has started, you can navigate to the attached virtual disk and access its files as you would with a physical hard drive. Copy the necessary files to another location within the virtual machine or to an external storage device.

6. Disconnect and preserve the virtual disk: After recovering the data, it's important to disconnect the virtual disk from the virtual machine to avoid accidental modifications. Preserve the original virtual disk file for future use or troubleshooting.

It's worth noting that the steps provided are general guidelines, and the specific process may vary depending on the virtualization software you are using. It's recommended to refer to the documentation or support resources provided by your virtualization software for more detailed instructions tailored to your specific situation.
