I have corrupted vmdk files and have tried a few items to recover the data and so far have not had much luck.
I have downloaded the Virtual Disk Development Kit and ran the vmware-vdiskmanager.exe on main vmdk file. All I get is that the file is corrupted and cannot be repaired. I tried installing the trial of the Workstation Pro...gladly pay for it if it fixed my disk...and that did not help much.
I then attempted to use Stellar Phoenix Virtual Machine Data Recovery ...which actually was able to see the files..most of them at least...but to recover them I need to pay $300. I would rather pay money for Workstation Pro so I have something to use later than $300 for recovery that I will hopefully only need this one time. So...Are there any additional options? IS there a data recovery built into Workstation Pro somehow like what Stellar is using?
Thanks!
