Full Specifications. What's new in version 2. Release April 29, Date Added April 29, Version 2. Virtual PC supports a maximum virtual disk size of GB. On first boot, a VM booting a captured copy of Windows will detect the VM's hardware and automatically install drivers, if present in the image. If the required drivers are not present, install them via the Virtual PC or Hyper-V integration components.
Do not attach to VHDs on the same system on which you created them if you plan on booting from them. Windows references disks in the boot configuration database BCD by disk signature, so when that happens Windows booted in a VM will fail to locate the boot disk. Disk2vhd does not support the conversion of volumes with Bitlocker enabled. If you wish to create a VHD for such a volume, turn off Bitlocker and wait for the volume to be fully decrypted first. Here's a screenshot of a copy of a Windows Server R2 Hyper-V system running in a virtual machine on top of the system it was made from:.
Disk2vhd includes command-line options that enable you to script the creation of VHDs. Specify the volumes you want included in a snapshot by drive letter e. Download Disk2vhd utility from Windows Sysinternals page. Step 2. Run Disk2vhd from your physical computer you want to convert. Just decompress the downloaded package and launch the application from your computer.
Right-click on the disk2vhd. It is not commended to select a different disk to store the virtual disk.

Besides, you can also select "Use Volume Shadow Copy" to create a transaction-consistent version of the disk instead of a crash-consistent version. Click " Create " button and Disk2vhd starts to convert. Wait for the process to complete.
Even in the ideal case, the traditional method to convert physical to virtual is an effort and time-consuming task, for if you miss any step or make a mistake during the converting process, the converting may end up with failure.
Fortunately, you can use DiskGenius to do the conversion and it performs the conversion easily and quickly. DiskGenius can do a sector-level copy of disk during converting if necessary for example converting encrypted volume, so that the converted virtual disk can be identical to original drive. Besides, you can convert current Windows system into a VMWare virtual machine.
Install and launch DiskGenius from your physical computer and identify the physical to be converted in the computer. Set file path and capacity for the VHD file and click Create button. You need to select a location on your computer to store the VHD virtual disk and set a name.
As to the capacity, you should make sure it is no less than the size of physical disk you want to convert. You can partition the disk by selecting the disk and click Quick Partition button.
