asked on Need to P2V a 1TB Windows 2003 R2 server
I recall disk2vhd having some size limitations. Does it still? Or is there something better I can use. Need to put this into Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V.

I would suggest you use the appropriate tool as discussed by Andrew above. Disk2VHD has worked fine for any hard drive 2TB and under (you may be thinking of the Virtual PC issues booting VHDs that were larger than 127 GB - Hyper-V doesn't have that issue). The newest version of Disk2VHD supports VHDX formats for drives larger than 2TB. HOWEVER, Disk2VHD has NEVER been a supported method of P2V. While I have done so and it has worked every time, it is simply unwise to put a system P2V'd using an unsupported methods into production system.
