How to Repair virtual Machine Disk(VMDK) Files? - sanjay210 - 12-04-2025
Repairing Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK) files usually requires specialized software because VMware disks can contain multiple file systems, partitions, and disk formats. A practical way to fix a corrupted VMDK is by using a recovery solution such as the SysInfo VMDK Recovery Tool, which is built to scan and rebuild damaged VMware images. The tool supports fixed and dynamic disks, along with SPARSE, FLAT, and split VMDK files. After loading the file, you can choose between Standard and Advanced scanning modes based on the level of corruption. Once the analysis completes, the tool detects volumes, lost partitions, and file systems like FAT, NTFS, HFS+, and EXTX. The recovered items appear in a tree-structure preview so you can verify everything before saving. This makes the repair process simple, even for users who don’t have deep technical knowledge of virtual machine storage.
