Earlier Windows releases are not supported because the utility makes use of the Windows Volume Snapshot capability, which is only featured in XP and later Windows platforms. Just run Disk2vhd on the system you want to migrate and specify the volumes for which you want data included, and Disk2vhd creates a consistent point-in-time volume snapshot followed by an export of the selected volumes into one or more VHDs that you can add to a new or existing Hyper-V or Virtual PC virtual machine,” noted Curtis Metz, program manager, Microsoft Sysinternals.ĭisk2vhd 1.0 comes with support for both Windows client and server operating systems starting with Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003. “We’re excited to announce a new Sysinternals tool, Disk2vhd, that simplifies the migration of physical systems into virtual machines (p2v). The utility, which can take physical disks and build Virtual Hard Disk (Microsoft’s Virtual Machine disk format) images, can essentially virtualize a physical installation of Windows into an image that will work with Virtual PC or Hyper-V. Developed by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell, Disk2vhd v1.0 was made available for download on October 7th, 2009, having been included into the Sysinternals Suite. Microsoft has updated the Sysinternals Suite of applications with a new component designed to streamline the process associated with creating VHD versions of physical disks.
