Windows Forum / Virtual PC / May 2008virtual PC recovery problem?
If my virtual pc is corrupt ,and I donot have a backup for the virtual pc or my virtual pc has a important file inside it, how can I recover this virtual PC? What do you mean by corrupt? What error message are you getting? What is the guest operating system? Host operating system? How about giving some details about your set up? A very good program for extracting files from a virtual hard drive file is http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm. > If my virtual pc is corrupt ,and I donot have a backup for the virtual pc > or > my virtual pc has a important file inside it, how can I recover this > virtual > PC? my os in virtual pc is window server 2003, the corrupt is : one file is corrupt then, the window server 2003 in that Virtual pc can not start.

Have you tried the Windows Server 2003 cd that you used for the installation? You still didn't say what file was corrupt. > my os in virtual pc is window server 2003, the corrupt is : one file is > corrupt then, the window server 2003 in that Virtual pc can not start. [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> > virtual >> > PC? I have a similar problem, a pair of days ago I was working on the Virtual PC doing some stuff with Minitab, then I had to leave so I did as usual, I just quit the program, closed my laptop and hit the road. The problem came when later I open the laptop and realized than the program had closed but then when I tried to open it again it showed me a window of a virtual machine trying to start but at the MS-DOS startup a message came than said than "I didn't specify any boot disk" and the Virtual PC list was empty. The PC file is still at the same place but the program will not open it, it keeps saying than I have to choose a virtual machine file, I opened the Windows.vp7's "package" file and see than the virtual machine file had a different name (used to be disk1), so i change the name back and nothing happened, then i created an other virtual machine and choose the file when trying to open Windows and nothing. So now I don't know what to do, I have important documents there and I can't get'hem back, I've already tried the "Data migrate" utility and didn't work out, please HELP !!!!!!! > Have you tried the Windows Server 2003 cd that you used for the > installation?

I have XP on the VPC and Vista on the main operating system. Yesterday i ran a full system virus scan (on Vista) because i was having adware alerts. When it finished there were 3 problems. One seemed to be a folder on the VPC I cant remember exactly but it ended with vhp or something????. And i deleted it....The other 2 were system files of somesort kernal32.dll and wsock32.dll they are still sitting in the chest but will not restore without errors..... Anyway Now the Virtual PC will not open. When i click start it opens thens closes its self down and will not load.... I hope someone can help me.

You should not have deleted the "vhp" file. That was likely the vhd file and was a false positive report by the AV software. See if you can find the file in the AV software's chest and restore it. Otherwise, you need to restore the copy you made for backup. >I have a similar problem to these.

Thanks for you reply Colin, yes i thought as such and no it isnt in the chest i deleted it thinking that my VPC had been compromised. I installed the VPC to run my 2004 version of Quickbooks for my business and the only backups i made are that of my Quickbooks files (not the VPC) > You should not have deleted the "vhp" file.

I might just bite the bullet and pay for the upgrade to Quickbooks that will work on Vista.... There was stuff on the VPC that i didnt backup, So you dont think there is any way to get it back up and running....?? Im really annoyed with myself. I should know better than deleting things when im tired.... Stupid me! > Then you should be OK creating a new vm and reimporting your data files. > [quoted text clipped - 126 lines] > >> >> >> >> >> > virtual > >> >> >> >> >> > PC? You'll have to look at the help files for your AV to see if it can be done. > Thanks. I dont think i can be bothered.
