1st way:
1) Start Microsoft Disk Management Tool.
2) Go to Action / Attach VHD and select the virtual disk you want to edit.


3) A new unit letter will appear on "My Computer". Open it and make the changes to the system files you need.
4) With the VHD selected go to Action / All tasks / Detach VHD.

It's done.
2nd way:
1) Connect the disk with the damaged install to another VM.

2) Start the VM and make the changes to the system files you need.
3) Close the VM.
It's done.

I hope it helps someone.

It's been quite useful for my "Longhorn Lab".
