I have a Hyper-v VM files which I recovered from failed RAID 1. <br />
It seems like the recovery was ok, but I can't start the VM on another machine. <br />
The VM folder has following files;<br />
<br />
srv1.vhd<br />
srv1-xxxxxxxx-x-x-x-x-x-xx<wbr />xxxxx.avhd<wbr /><br />
xxxxxxxx-x-x-x-x-x-xxxxxxx<wbr />.bin<br />
xxxxxxxx-x-x-x-x-x-xxxxxxx<wbr />.vsv<br />
xxxxxxxx-x-x-x-x-x-xxxxxxx<wbr />.xml<br />
xxxxxxxx-x-x-x-x-x-yyyyyyy<wbr />.xml<br />
<br />
What I did was, I merged &nbsp;srv1.vhd and srv1-xxxxxxxx-x-x-x-x-x-xx<wbr />xxxxx.avhd<wbr /> (after renaming .avhd to .vhd), then attached the merged vhd file in Disk management, then ran chkdsk to repair. After finishing chkdsk, I could see all my files. <br />
Now, I tried to create a virtual machine using this merged vhd file, but no luck. <br />
<br />
It says 'The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable'. <br />
<br />
Is it because I ignored bin and vsv files or simply the vhd files are corrupted? <br />

Starting VHD with AVHD, BIN, VSV files from hyper-v files

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.

Hyper-V

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.
