I am still waiting for the way to convert physical to virtual.
ibu1,

It is step 1. Have you tried it?
Yes,I tried step 1 and completed the first part to take the image but did not convert it to vhd file.
Hello,
I tried to convert the image from my external hard to windows xp machine and below is the output.But it did not create any vhd file.Is this tool is only compatible with the machine where hyper-v is installed or can it be run from windows xp machine as well? The image is 74.5 GB and the below command just finishes in a second.
O:\ubuntu>VhdTool.exe /convert ub1.img
