Disk2vhd Utility Creates VHD Images of Physical Disks

Here is another useful software from Windows Sysinternals. Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell have written a tool named Disk2vhd which is capable of creating Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) image of a PC which is currently running. The VHD image can be used with Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs).

Disk2vhd uses Windows’ Volume Snapshot capability, introduced in Windows XP, to create consistent point-in-time snapshots of the volumes you want to include in a conversion.

For more information about this tool, visit the Disk2vhd page at the Windows Sysinternals Website.
