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
Status: Converting "ub1.img" to a fixed format VHD.
Status: Attempting to open file "ub1.img"
Status: File opened, current size is 80026362880
Status: VHD footer generated
Status: VHD footer written to file.
Status: Complete
