VHDX Fails To Mount after copying


i have windows 2012 hyper-v cluster 2 nodes. vms , vhds reside in csv on equalogic san. recently, had data vhd become corrupted on file server, moved data corrupted vhd a new vhd. after complete , server online, copied old corrupted vhd onto external usb hard drive. trying access old vhd mounting directly on 2012 node , error:

couldnt mount file

the disk image isnt initialized, contains partitions arent recognizable, or contains volumes havent been assigned driver letters. please use disk management snap-9in make sure disk, partitions, , volumes in usable state.

when go disk management, go ahead , set online , shows drive no partition on it. have lost data? can vhd mount again can recover data it?

okay, going , closing out since found issue...

it turned out there nothing wrong these vhds copied. not in state allows them mounted volume. instead, needed attach them virtual machine, , worked fine. created virtual machine on 1 of hyperv servers, attached vhd file in properties of vm, , bingo, booted fine , access data on virtual disks. article helped me was....
