Virtual hard disks (VHDs) are virtualized hard disk files that, once mounted, appear and operate pretty much identically to a physical hard drive. They’re most commonly used with Hyper-V virtual machines.

How do I mount a VHD in PowerShell?

  1. Open the PowerShell as Administrator.
  2. When the command-line window opens, you can run the Mount-VHD cmdlet to mount your vhd/vhdx file. Mount-VHD –Path “[location of vhd]”
  3. To unmount your virtual hard disk, just run the Dismount-VHD cmdlet instead.
