Currently using Server 2008 R2, and I attempted to create and attach a 1.5 TB VHD on a USB 2.0 drive.

I see the VHD file in the drive, but cannot attach it in Disk Management. I keep receiving an error message: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

As this is a new VHD, I tried to delete the file, but receive yet another error: The action can't be completed because the file is open in System.

How do I attach or delete this drive?

  • How was it created if you can't use it? Was it on the same machine? What are the partition sizes and formats? – Julie Pelletier Jul 05 '16 at 00:20
  • Created in Disk Management on the same machine that it's connected to. Not sure about partition size/format; I didn't get that far. The new VHD didn't even attach in Disk Management, so I couldn't actually initialize it. – toolshed Jul 05 '16 at 00:32
