asked on P2V from hard drive without a computer
Hi, is there a way to virtualize a computer that has no box? I have a hard drive that came from a computer where the motherboard failed, the box was then chucked.
Thanks all.

wow Lee, that rocks, thats what I have been looking for, is Microsoft the only one to make this? Or does VMWare have their own version?

Thanks Andrew, I knew I would see you here, is the "supported tool" Disk2VHD? Is that what you use?

Andrew, I got lost in the stand alone converter choices, can you give me a step by step thing to get to a choice to choose vhdx or vhd from that all supported formats thing?
Sorry man, I got lost.

you cannot use a VHD or VHDX, a list of them, is shows in my screen shot.
You select Backup Image or Third Party virtual machine, and then click Browse for the supported image you have.
Symantec System Recovery, free trial, is one of the supported images.
