VHD / VHDX 指南
什么是VHD / VHDX文件？
VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) and VHDX are virtual hard disk formats used by Microsoft Hyper-V, Virtual PC, and other virtualization platforms. They contain a complete file system that can be mounted as a drive.
VHD supports up to 2 TB, while VHDX (the newer format) supports up to 64 TB and offers better corruption resistance.
7-Zip can open VHD, VHDX, VMDK (VMware), VDI (VirtualBox), and QCOW2 (QEMU) files, allowing you to extract files from virtual disks without running the virtual machine.
7-Zip能打开VHD / VHDX吗？
7-Zip can open and extract files from VHD, VHDX, VMDK, VDI, and QCOW2 virtual disk images.
7-Zip treats virtual disks like archives — you can browse the file system and extract individual files without mounting.
This is useful for recovering files from virtual machines without booting them.
如何解压VHD / VHDX文件
Right-click the VHD/VHDX file
Locate your .vhd or .vhdx file, right-click it, and navigate to "7-Zip".
Choose extraction option
Select "Open archive" to browse the virtual disk contents, or "Extract Here" to extract everything.
Browse and extract files
In the 7-Zip File Manager, navigate the virtual disk's file system like a regular folder and extract the files you need.
如何创建VHD / VHDX压缩包
7-Zip cannot create VHD/VHDX files
7-Zip can extract files from virtual disks but cannot create them. VHD creation requires virtualization software.
Creating virtual disks
Use Hyper-V Manager, Disk Management (Windows), or tools like qemu-img to create VHD/VHDX files.
如何给VHD / VHDX加密
VHD/VHDX files do not support password protection at the format level.
Virtual disk encryption (like BitLocker) is applied inside the virtual disk, not on the VHD file itself. 7-Zip cannot decrypt BitLocker-protected virtual disks.

VHD / VHDX常见错误与解决方案
Cannot open VHD file
原因: Corrupted VHD or unsupported format variant.
解决方案: Ensure the VHD is not corrupted. 7-Zip supports standard VHD and VHDX formats. For VHDX, use the latest 7-Zip version.
VHD shows as empty
原因: The virtual disk may use a file system 7-Zip doesn't support, or the disk is dynamic and not fully allocated.
解决方案: Try mounting the VHD in Windows Disk Management instead. Some dynamic VHDs may not be fully readable by 7-Zip.
