How to open an Ubuntu VMWare VMDK file on a Windows box

Someone made a .vmdk file for Ubuntu Linux that I'd like to open up in VMWare Workstation 12 Pro on a Windows 10 guest operating system. I tried creating a new Virtual Machine, selecting an an iso of Ubuntu 18.04.1 as the operating system, and adding the .vmdk file as an existing hard disk. I did a fresh install of Ubuntu, but wasn't able to find a directory which was supposed to exist on the computer represented by the vmdk file. I also tried just creating a new VM and selecting Ubuntu as the operating system and not using an iso file, but then I get an "Operating system not found" error. I have also tried mounting the vmdk as a virtual disk just so I could verify that the contents existed, but Windows gives me a prompt for formatting the disk.

You can browse VMDK files with 7-Zip.

Not sure about that - 7-Zip doesn't recognize the .vmdk file as an archive.

It works for me on the.vmdk
file, though it doesn't interpret the.vmx
file. I have checked on both Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10. It works with both the graphical and command-line interfaces.

Multiple ways: altaro.com/vmware/extract-content-vmdk-files Are you sure you have all the files? How big is the vmdk? Was there a "flat-file" labeled vmdk with it?

It works for me on the
.vmdk
file, though it doesn't interpret the.vmx
file. I have checked on both Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10. It works with both the graphical and command-line interfaces.– AFH
