Dead Guest BSOD

Hi,

If a PM died, we could pull drives read, work them, etc..

If a VM goes BSOD, is there ( or how to) access to the vm files inside the vdk files?

If you edit the settings of the VM you can attach an ISO like ultimate boot CD, or a repair disk to fix a crashing VM.

Additionally you could boot a recovery disk and parse the filesystem of the guest and copy it to a network share.
