I cannot comment on your reply on StackOverflow because of the reputation system, so I reply here instead:

using DiscUtils.Vhdx.DiskImageFile baseFile = new DiscUtils.Vhdx.DiskImageFile(VDIStream); 'Invalid VHDX file - file signature mismatch' I get an error

This is because you try to open a vdi image using vhdx image format classes. You should use vdi format classes instead:
DiscUtils.Vdi.Disk.OpenDisk("pathto.vdi", FileAccess.Read);

the updated answer does not use any VHDX classes...?!

Oh, sorry, your answer is the one with the FreeDOS image example? I misunderstood which answer your comment was about!

[rs38]

yes, there is only one answer, so I thought it's obvious :)

Okay, I am a bit unfamiliar with the terminology there. I need to learn that answers to answers are not called answers but comments. ;)
