New vmdk mount utility...
Here's a screen capture of the help info:
Basically, you just type this in:
vmware-mount x: "c:\virtual machines\vm1\virtualdisk.vmdk" /v:1
to mount the first volum of that vmdk file as your x: drive.
To list all the volumes in a vmdk file, you would do this:
vmware-mount "c:\virtual machines\vm1\virtualdisk.vmdk" /p
To unmount your x: drive you would type this:
vmware-mount x: /d
It works like a champ... here's my explorer window of a windows xp pro disk:
