Hey Guys ,

Last week our DELL server got crashed lossing RAID configuration , we found out that one out of five HDD was defective so we replaced , and reconfgured RAID 5 , but server seems to be corrupted and cannot boot, by using WindowsPE vista +Active@ file recovery software we were able to recover the VM folders from Host , but these VMDK files seems to be corrupted and cannot work on another Host , niether they are getting mount from Vmware DiskMount utlity or VDK or Virtual Disk Provider , i have tried everything ,

attached is a screen shot of how the files are in VM folder right now , is there any way that i can recover the data from "E-HD.VMDK" file , this file is around 200 GB ,

any suggestions are welcome . and if any more information i can provide in this regard.

PS: JPG attached
