Hi,
I have a hard time with mounting vmdk downloaded from data store.
I use VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit. (Tried other methods with no luck)
I tried to mount all 3 existing vmdk.
1. xyz.vmdk - 1 K
2. xyz-flat.vmdk - 60 GB
3. xyz-ctk.vmdk -3 MB
As you can see below only xyz.vmdk mount is successful and it mounts Windows System Reserved partition (100MB)
What I am doing wrong. Sure I need to access FLAT file.
Thanks.
