VDS_E_INVALID_DISK

VDS_E_INVALID_DISK is a disk-state precondition failure. VDS considers the disk invalid for the requested operation because it is corrupted, failing or offline. The next action depends on the actual VDS_DISK_STATUS, health and flags returned by the disk properties.

Read the complete disk state before attempting repair

Query VDS_DISK_PROP and record status, health, flags, partition style and offline reason.
Separate an offline policy state from failing I/O or corrupted layout.
Do not run destructive clean or conversion operations before identifying the disk by stable device data.

Bringing a disk online is appropriate only when the status and SAN policy allow it. A failing or corrupt disk requires different handling and may need data recovery. The HRESULT is intentionally broad, so the page adds value only when diagnostics include the detailed disk properties and event log rather than a generic retry.
