I attempted to use it to.įortunately, C: and D: combined was only 1. Okay, I'm now very late to this party, but let me say: don't use Windows Backup (Backup and Restore). The process will not require a setup of a virtual. I am going to describe a quick way to convert Symantec’s Ghost GHO file to Microsoft Virtual Hard Drive VHD file.This is a pretty lame requirement to have since (a) the forced inclusion of other drives is inexplicable in the UI and (b) this is still no guarantee that the services will work as they may have data on other drives anyway. I've since heard that services on other partitions will cause this, which in my case would be my Perforce server. The result was that Backup would not allow me to create a system recovery image without including my D: drive. Now, when you ask Windows to back up only your system drive, it.
Either a very smart file backup tool or a partition imager is needed to get everything over correctly, and Windows Backup at least knows how to do this. S folder to pop open with a giant SPROING and spray duplicate file confetti all over your new drive. We're long past the point where you can just do a straight file copy of the Windows folder - doing that nowadays will cause the Win. The data partitions I could copy peacemeal myself, but the system partition is harder to clone correctly without messing up symlinks, hardlinks, ACLs, and alternate streams. I opted to do only a critical partition backup because I was only concerned with cloning the system partitions. I attempted to use it to clone a Windows 7 installation onto a new hard drive, after running into some problems with cloning utilities, and it failed so utterly badly that I'm glad I never tried using it to actually do backups.
