Simple Help Opening VHD files on MacOS X

[LeftEmpty]

Hello,
I looked for help on how to deal with VHD hard drive image file on MacOS X, and while I found a few solutions, most were quite cumbersome.

The simplest I've found is to simply run this command in the terminal:

Code: Select all

hdiutil attach -imagekey diskimage-class=CRawDiskImage [path/to/file.vhd]

This mounts the VHD file as the hard drive it represents, and allowed me to open and edit its content.

I am unclear if you need a way to deal with the pre ExFAT variety of file systems for it to work. On my own computer, one of the first utilty I bought was Tuxera NTFS, which is an amazing solution if you have to deal regularly with drives from the Windows world. So maybe a similar component may be necessary.

Hope this may prove helpful to someone else,

Cheers!
