Introduction

Disk2vhd is a utility that creates VHD (Virtual Hard Disk - Microsoft'sVirtual Machine disk format) versions of physical disks for use inMicrosoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs). Thedifference between Disk2vhd and other physical-to-virtual tools is thatyou can run Disk2vhd on a system that’s online. Disk2vhd uses Windows'Volume Snapshot capability, introduced in Windows XP, to createconsistent point-in-time snapshots of the volumes you want to include ina conversion. You can even have Disk2vhd create the VHDs on localvolumes, even ones being converted (though performance is better whenthe VHD is on a disk different than ones being converted).

The Disk2vhd user interface lists the volumes present on the system:

It will create one VHD for each disk on which selected volumes reside.It preserves the partitioning information of the disk, but only copiesthe data contents for volumes on the disk that are selected. Thisenables you to capture just system volumes and exclude data volumes, forexample.

Virtual PC supports a maximum virtual disk size of 127GB. Ifyou create a VHD from a larger disk it will not be accessible from aVirtual PC VM.

To use VHDs produced by Disk2vhd, create a VM with the desiredcharacteristics and add the VHDs to the VM's configuration as IDE disks.On first boot, a VM booting a captured copy of Windows will detect theVM's hardware and automatically install drivers, if present in theimage. If the required drivers are not present, install them via theVirtual PC or Hyper-V integration components. You can also attach toVHDs using the Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Disk Management orDiskpart utilities.

Do not attach to VHDs on the same system on which you createdthem if you plan on booting from them. If you do so, Windows willassign the VHD a new disk signature to avoid a collision with thesignature of the VHD’s source disk. Windows references disks in theboot configuration database (BCD) by disk signature, so when thathappens 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.

Disk2vhd runs on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and higher,including x64 systems.

Windows 7 Disk Check
Sometimes, your computer is noticeably slower or programs 'hang' when you access certain files. This problem might occur because there are errors on your hard disk drive.
You can troubleshoot the problem by using the Disk Check tool in Windows 7. Disk Check can identify and automatically correct file system errors and make sure that you can continue to load and write data from the hard disk. You can use Disk Check in Windows 7 not only for local hard drives, but also for removable media such as USB memory sticks or memory cards.
Note Please make sure that you close all open programs and files before you start the disk check.
1. Right-click the Start Windows icon.
2. In the shortcut menu, click Open Windows Explorer.
3. In the navigation pane, click Computer so that your drives appear in the right pane.
4. Right-click the drive that you want to check.
5. Click Properties.
6. Click the Tools tab.
7. Click the Check now button.
8. In the Check Disk <disk name> window, select the Automatically fix file system errors check box.
Note If you want to perform a detailed test of the hard drive, you can select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box. You should do that in the justified suspicion of existing hardware error in any case. But please note that the operation can then take a long time. For a first routine check, we recommend that you do not select this option.
9. Click Start.
10. If the drive that you want to check is currently in use and it is your system drive, you will see a dialog box with a warning message. In this case, click Schedule disk check.
11. Exit all open programs, and then restart your computer. The checking will start automatically before next Windows startup and display the results when completed.
12. If you are not checking the system drive, you do not have to turn off the computer. However, the selected drive may also be in use. In this case, you receive a message. After you have saved all files and close all open programs, click Force a dismount.
13. The checking starts immediately. After it is completed, the results will be displayed.
