Partea 1: Ce este Virtual Hard Disk

A virtual hard disk or VHD is a sort of drive that works just as the physical hard drive except that it has special variations. In short, a virtual disk is accessed, controlled and installed on a virtual machine network. Indeed, a VHD is thought to be a file format or an application. It is made for virtual machines. Boasting the same hard drive partitions and a file system found on a physical hard drive, a virtual disk has all the capabilities a computer user needs. It can run an operating system, create files and folders and execute any application or request.

Although it is designed in the physical hard drive, the VHD has its own logical component. You can make many drive sectors within it so as to run numerous virtual hard drives at the same time. Every sector runs independently, meaning that it does not overwrite or interfere with the running of the other VHDs. Concerning size, virtual hard disks can have a flexible or a fixed size. Size is controlled by the virtualization manager or the parent operating system. The virtual PC run by Microsoft on its Windows OS was initially bought from Connectix Inc.

Part 2: Reasons for Data Loss in Virtual Systems

As we have noted above, VHDs are so similar to physical hard disk drives. Hence, they are as prone to data loss as the typical physical hard disks are. And when they encounter damage that leads to data loss or corrupted files, VHDs cannot be useful at all to the user. But why would data loss occur in virtual systems? The following are common reasons why.

• Corrupted VMDK or virtual disk files
• Hardware failures
• RAID issues
• Corrupted VMFS Datastore volumes
• Reformatted VMware. This is a Datastore that keeps every file that is associated with virtual computer volume
• Deleted virtual disk files or VMDK

Is it possible to recover data from Virtual disk?

If you have a virtual hard disk on your computer that contains valuable data and you would love to save it, you may wonder whether it’s possible to access your VHD and recover all your data. First, it is good to note that finding out whether you can access your virtual disk when it becomes unresponsive is difficult. Even so, you can recover data from your virtual disk as long your computer or external hard drive had not overwritten new data on it. The most common way to retrieve lost data from an unresponsive virtual hard disk is via software. If you make use of the best software, you can scan every virtual disk sector that contains valuable information. The process is quick and error-free. You can access, open, preview and transfer recoverable documents.
