Help!
i am not sure that because i move the windows 7.pvm file to another directory , i can not open the virtual hard disk (windows 7. pvm with size 32GB). i have checked a lot of methods online, but still have no solutions to restore all my datas and file from the win.7 hdd file. So i call for help here and describe the problem as follows:
1. the win7.hdd package only has two files with name

Windows 7-0.hdd size 0kb
Windows 7-0.hdd.0.{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41}.hds size 32GB

I checked online that maybe because i missed the DiskDescriptor.xml file and the windows 7. pvm is corrupted, i do not know.
I upload the screenshot picture.

2. i really hope to recover all my files just from the Windows 7-0.hdd.0.{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41}.hds (32GB). i will appreciate your help and sugesstion too much.

To restore deleted or lost data from the Windows computer system, you can get the help of a professional data recovery software. There are lots of tools available in the market, I would like to recommend such a software called Kernel for Windows Data Recovery that helps you to recover data from damaged, corrupted or reformatted hard drive of Windows operating system.

To get all data back from Windows 7 hdd, all you need is a reliable app like file recovery. As long as your data has not been overwritten, it can be restored. Good luck.

charles5, the problem is missed DiskDescriptor.xml.
I would expect a file recovery in OS X required, not in Windows.
Do you remember a size of a virtual disk used in this VM?
The idea is to create another empty VM with similar virtual disk size and copy Windows 7-0.hdd.0.{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41}.hds to
new VM (for example to New_Windows 7-0.hdd.0.{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41}.hds). Then try to start new VM.
Alternatively you can copy DiskDescriptor.xml from the new VM to old VM hdd folder and fix actual files name used in that file.
Also a problem report ID would be usefull for complete investigation.
The method described above will work if original VM doesn't have snapshots.
