Hi, good evening.
'Firstly i say sorry if i opened this topic in an incorrect forum. I have searched several topics but can't find any similar issue.
I use vmware workstation with a Windows 7 virtual machine saved on an external drive. I needed to create a bootable pen drive for Windows 10 installation, but accidentally selected the external disk and it was formatted. After that, i have already used various data recovery tools (Recuva, Disk Drill, SysTools Hard Drive Data Recovery, VMFS recovery, etc...) but none of them was able to find .vmdk files.
The problem is, i can find the S.O. (Win7) as file system and i can see all directories and files locate inside the VM. But if i try recover any file, i cannot open it. I see that the files are complete and have dates the last time I used the virtual machine, but I cannot restore them.
Has anyone had this problem or any suggestions on how to restore the files or even the virtual machine?
Thank You.
Regis.
