ERROR_VHD_COULD_NOT_COMPUTE_MINIMUM_VIRTUAL_SIZE
ERROR_VHD_COULD_NOT_COMPUTE_MINIMUM_VIRTUAL_SIZE means Windows could not determine a safe lower virtual size for the disk. The partition layout or required metadata may be missing or corrupt.
What to do
- Do not attempt a shrink until the disk and partition table can be inspected reliably.
- Mount a copy read-only for analysis when appropriate, or inspect it through a recovery workflow.
- If the goal is capacity reduction, migrate data to a newly created smaller disk instead of forcing an unsafe resize.
