Opening a WindowsImageBackup VHD file
I am trying to open a large ( 345GB ) WindowsImageBackup VHD file using Windows Explorer and have had a blinking hourglass icon on my screen for about 12 hours. I wanted to know if this is normal and if I should continue to wait or take other action. I am running Windows 7 pro 64bit and used the procedure from a previous Windows 7 Forum to access Disk Management and attach the VHD file and get to the screen where I could select and open the file. I am trying to restore a file I deleted by mistake using the image backup. Is the blinking hourglass normal? Is there anything I need to do at this point or just continue to wait? Any advice would be appreciated.
