VHD Attach is a small tool that adds Attach and Detach option to contextual (aka right-click) menu of Virtual disk (vhd) files. That enables those operations to be done without trip to Disk Management console. Detach option is available on hard drive contextual menu also. Additionally program can be used as classic utility in order to see various information about virtual disk, even without attaching it.

Do notice that this program only works with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Older operating systems are not supported.

From SoftSea Editor:
Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) is a file formatted to be structurally identical to a physical Hard Disk Drive. It is typically used in various virtualization packages, and can be used to install a wide variety of operating systems (various versions of Microsoft Windows and Linux). The format was created by Connectix which was later acquired by Microsoft for Virtual PC. Virtual Hard Disks allow multiple operating systems to reside on a single host machine. This enables developers to test software on different operating systems without the cost or hassle of actual hardware. The ability to directly modify a virtual machine's hard disk from a host server supports many applications.
