Hello,
I am trying to mount a VHD file from my WindowsImageBackup.
I used a script to have Take Ownership of a folder, and did that to WindowsImageBackup,.
I am using Disk Management -> Action -> Attach VHD.
Now I see the drive mounted in Disk Management, but I can not explore it or open it.
But I desperetely need a couple files from there for work.
Any suggestions?
I am sorry if I may have posted in the wrong area of this site.
I am running windows 8.1.

Hello Yuri,

Did you already approve to manually open the WindowsImageBackup folder before trying to attach the VHD?

Afterwards, you should be able to attach the VHD and open it.
