The application is small, fast, portable and very easy to use. Simply run the executable, choose the location where you want to backup the Virtual Machine image to, tick the drives you want to make an image of, and press “Create”.<\/p>\n
As the name suggests, the image gets turned into a .VHD file which is native to MS Virtual PC<\/a>. One downside of MS Virtual PC is that it only supports a maximum virtual disk size of 127GB. However, other software such as VirtualBox<\/a> can also open .VHD files and support much larger image sizes.<\/p>\n In my own tests, I made an image of my C: drive which took around 5 minutes. I opened up Virtualbox, pressed “New” and went through the Create Virtual Machine wizard. When the Hard Drive stage came I chose to “Use an existing virtual hard drive” and chose the .VHD file that Disk2VHD created for me. I got a Blue Screen of Death when I first tried to boot the VM but the solution to this was to go into the virtual machines settings, goto Storage, remove the .VHD file as a SATA controller<\/a> and add it back in as an IDE controller<\/a>. After I made that change and booted the Virtual Machine everything worked fine.<\/p>\n Download from Official Site<\/a> – 812kb<\/p>\n Special thanks to 16k_zx81<\/a> on our forums<\/a> for recommending this one.<\/p>\n © Technibble – A Resource for Computer Technicians<\/a> to start or improve their Computer Business<\/a>Screenshots<\/h3>\n
