Attempting to mount the VHD file via disk management fails as well. The only utility that would mount the VHD file that was generating the error messages at the end of this post is the Citrix CVHDMount utility available via PVS (C:\Program Files\Citrix\Provisioning Services\CVHDMount.exe)
Since our Hyper-V server was separate from the PVS server, we needed to install the drivers to allow CVHDMount.exe to work. In order to do this you need to install the drivers in this folder:
C:\Program Files\Citrix\Provisioning Services\drivers
You can right-click "Install" on the cfsdep2.inf file.
For the other driver you need to open Device Manager, go through "Add new hardware...", "Add legacy hardware" and then browse to the drivers folder and add the cvhdbusp6.inf.
Now we would mount the disk as a drive letter using this command line:
C:\Users\trententtye>"C:\Program Files\Citrix\Provisioning Services\CVhdMount.exe" -p 1 "\\wsctxapp824\d$\XenApp65Pn02.2.vhd"
Opening \\?\root#scsiadapter#0000#{c97efdbd-972c-4fe8-8279-9ce6c19fa260}
Bus interface opened.
Plugin device with SerialNumber: 1
filename: \Global??\UNC\wsctxapp824\d$\XenApp65Pn02.2.vhd
At this point you need to set the disk to "Offline" in Disk Management.
From here we can now add the disk as a physical disk to Hyper-V.
And we can now do the Target Device Update.

For what its worth, I've experienced this and it just came back to me today when I tried to mount a vhd. My VHD was created with the PVS imaging wizard originally which may have been the cause (not sure). At any rate, the workaround I used was to use "VhdResizer" to copy the VHD block by block. Hope this helps.
VHD Resizer fails when the block size is 16MB. When I used it to "clone" the VHD to another the "clone" was throughly corrupt.
Thank you so much! I thought there was something wrong with my vDisk until it happened to a 2nd one. Then I was confident it had to be some sort of settings that Hyper-V can't read.
