Mount a VHD? How?

I used VirtualBox to create a 640MB VHD (virtual hard disk) named 'Palemoon portable (Linux).vhd'. (Note that the VHD is not a VDI.) I need to format it, but first, I need to mount it. But when I attempt to mount it (as Administrator) via Disk Managment's 'Action' 'Attach VHD' menu choice, 'Attach VHD' is greyed out and cannot be chosen. Note that the VM is not running, and that VBox is not running. Also note that I'm aware that, in Windows, I can format it solely as NTFS -- that's not an issue.

I've not found a system setting that would prevent mounting VHDs.

In elevated Power Shell:


PS C:\Users\Administrator> Mount-VHD -Path "c:\VMs\Mint\Palemoon portable (Linux).vhd"
Mount-VHD : The term 'Mount-VHD' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ Mount-VHD -Path "c:\VMs\Mint\Palemoon portable (Linux).vhd"
+ ~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Mount-VHD:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

PS C:\Users\Administrator>


How can I mount the VHD?

With Regards, Mark.
