Another aspect is if/when a recovery is required. <br />

Our preference is to have one VHDX file for the OS and one for the data/LoBs/Apps to be installed. KISS<br />

Recovery goes a lot smoother when things are simpler.

I have a quick question. I am building a hyper-v virtual machine. I am new to virtualization. On a physical machine I would make a &quot;C&quot; drive for the OS and create another partition for the Data drive. On a virtual machine, would I do the same or create a virtual disk for the &quot;C&quot; and a virtual disk for the &quot;D&quot;?

I have a quick question. I am building a hyper-v virtual machine. I am new to virtualization. On a physical machine I would make a "C" drive for the OS and create another partition for the Data drive. On a virtual machine, would I do the same or create a virtual disk for the "C" and a virtual disk for the "D"?

Should I partition a Virtual machine or create another virtual hard drive?

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
