Virtualbox and vdi files

The VDI file format is designed to make a portable disc image which can be easily run using other virtualization programs. It supports both dynamically allocated and fixed-size storage. It allows you to expand an image file after it has been created, even if it already contains data. Irrespective of the disk capacity and format, as mentioned in Section 1. If you create a fixed-size image, an image file will be created on your host system which has roughly the same size as the virtual disk's capacity.

So, for a 10 GB disk, you will have a 10 GB file. Note that the creation of a fixed-size image can take a long time depending on the size of the image and the write performance of your hard disk. Dynamically allocated. For more flexible storage management, use a dynamically allocated image. Run PowerISO. If there are more than one partition in the vmdk file, PowerISO will list all partitions, you need select a partition from the list to continue.

Only one partition can be opened at a time. Click the "Extract" button on toolbar to open "Extract vmdk file" dialog. Choose the destination directory for extraction. If you want to extract all files, you should select "All files" option. Click the "OK" button to start extracting. If you want to extract another partition in the vmdk file, you need open the vmdk file again, and select the partition desired.

If there are more than one partition in the vhd file, PowerISO will list all partitions, you need select a partition from the list to continue. Select the files you want to extract, then click the "Extract" button on toolbar to open "Extract vhd file" dialog. Choose the destination directory. This software will repair any type of glitch to open VDI file. It recovers and restores maximum content from the VDI file. Written By Reyansh Updated on April 28th, Table of Contents.
