SYMPTOMS

You are using third-party software on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer to import a transportable shadow volume from a network storage device. You used the Volume Shadow Copy service to create this shadow volume. In this scenario, the Virtual Disk service in Windows may sometimes return the "VDS_E_OBJECT_DELETED" error message.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the Virtual Disk service cannot open a virtual disk volume in the Volume Shadow Copy service shadow volume during the import process. The Virtual Disk service incorrectly determines that the volume is either removed or does not exist.
