Unable to mount multiple vmdk files via vmware mount utility

Hi,

I am using the vmware-mount for windows. I have the following .vmdk files given by the client:

1. spec.mf

2. spec.ovf

3.spec-disk1.vmdk - contains two .ntfs files

4.spec-disk2.vmdk - contains two .img files

When i tried mounting the first disk 'spec-disk1.vmdk' , it successfully mounts , but the drive is empty. All of the data are in an .img file in the second disk 'spec-disk2.vmdk'.

Question:

1. I was expecting all vmdk files to be picked up while 'VMware-mount /m:n G: ./spec-disk1.vmdk' was issued. Did not happen. How do i make the vmware-mount aware of the second disk file

2. When tried to read the volume type in second disk it says unknown : 'vmware-mount "./spec-disk2.vmdk" /p'  gives 'Volume  1 :  2097152 MB, Unknown'.

Please could someone help me to mount the data volume , i.e the .img inside the second disk image .

Many thanks.
