How to Extract Individual Files From a Windows® 7 System Image Backup 

It would be such a disservice if I left without saying a BIG THANKYOU for this.

This video Was very helpful. I thought all my data was lost but never knew I could do this. ThankYou so Much!

I don't seem to have had as much luck as everyone else - it didnt appear as a new drive and I get a warning saying "disk image not initialized, contains partitions that arent recognisable or volumes that havent been assigned drive letters". Thank you for the video.

Like many others, this saved many hours of file based agony! Thank you!

Thanks a Million. This information is GOLD

Thanks for the great tutorial. It is similar to others I've found. But in my case, when the new drive is created (where I don't know) it requires to be formatted. When I acknowledge and proceed I am halted by a message stating the drive is write protected. Anyone have any suggestions? Also note: the File System is stated as RAW not NTFS and has 100% free space.

Great, this saved me many hours and headaches. I owe you one.

Hi, how do you do the same for a apple ipad backup stored on a Win 7 computer? Thanks..

Can we use that system image for restoring the entire system after doing this?

Very instructive this is exactly what I want to know, thanks !

A BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU LEGEND!!!

Thanks for the lesson!

Thanks for this bro, just saved my life

Bye the way, I did it in Windows 10 form an old Windows 8.1 System Image, works perfectly

What if the files are .vhdx? D:

Mounting my VHD files in disk management did not result in the drives showing up in my computer in Windows 10 :/ I have videos and pictures on a backup drive that I can't get out, and Windows Backup just restores empty folders and some config files.

i have 3 VHD files cos my laptop has an ssd and a hdd. im unable to put on the system image because i replaced a corrupt hdd and so i just want to extract my files and reinstall my programs. can i use all 3 vhd files, cos i dont know which is which :/

can I do this in Windows server 2016

thanky veryyyyy much for the info !

Thank you .

I appreciate this.

You are a legend.

Easiest method - you don't even need to mount a *.vhd as a drive. You can simply open *.vhd in 7-ZIP and copy any files from it by drag'n'drop.

Much appreciated!

Best thank you.
