Summary

VHD Attach is a free Windows utility for mounting and detaching virtual disks. It adds Attach and Detach choices to the context menu for VHD files, and its options can add a Detach choice to the hard-drive menu as well. It can mount virtual disks automatically when Windows starts, using either full-access or read-only mode, and display virtual-disk information without mounting the disk. It supports Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later, including Windows 10; older systems such as Windows Vista are not supported. On Windows 8 and Windows Server 8, it can also work with ISO images and VHDX disks. Command-line options include /attach, /detach, and /detachdrive. The source repository is available under the MIT License. A network-hosted VHD may require changing the service account to grant access. Automatic mounting of a BitLocker-enabled drive does not display its password prompt, since mounting begins before the user interface appears.

Who it is for

VHD Attach suits Windows users who need context-menu or startup mounting for virtual disks. It also offers command-line controls and read-only startup mounting.

What is good

  • Adds VHD attach and detach context-menu commands
  • Supports read-only or full-access startup mounting
  • Displays virtual-disk information without mounting
  • Supports ISO and VHDX on Windows 8 and Server 8
  • Source repository is published under the MIT License

What to know first

  • Does not support Windows Vista or older systems
  • BitLocker auto-mounting does not show the password prompt
  • Network-hosted disks may require a service-account change

Verdict

VHD Attach provides several ways to mount virtual disks on supported Windows systems, including context-menu, startup, and command-line options. Check its older-Windows and BitLocker limitations if either applies to your setup.
