Thanks. I was about to give up on making a VM out of my old Win 10 box, but this was exactly what I needed.

Thank you! It's interesting, I was not aware of Disk2VHD utility. I thought it was only possible by using the command line.

I spent all day trying to figure out how to do this by reading forms, guides, and watching other videos on how to fix this. I've been working on this all day for work. Then I found this video and I got it working without a hitch. Thanks Raneri!

This worked for me without having to download the windows ISO and repair anything. I was dual booted (using Grub bootloader), I pulled the disk image to an external hard drive, setup a machine in virtual box pointed at the resulting VHD and booted directly into windows 10.

I think my fave bit of this video is where you've gone to the effort of bluring out your VM names in the left hand list, but not in the details section so we can all see the names anyway :-D

Can a V2P be done with WinXP? Or are the tools (Disk2VHD, bcdboot, gimagex, etc) totally different? I have an XP VirtualBox, that I'd like to image an external drive with.. can the image be transferred such that I can then boot/run XP from the external drive using a USB/SATA cable?

5 year old video but very useful! 2 questions: 1- Can the same process be done with an existing installation on a 2nd drive? 2- Can I still boot my machine through that drive without complications or data loss? Thank you :)

Hello. I have troubles with executing this. The Windows system I am trying to virtualize was actually on a dual-boot machine with a Linux Mint 19. When I try "bootrec /fixboot", I have an error message "Acces denied" !
@tirlipimpom5 жыл бұрын
So, Raneri, in your tutorial, you give a way to solve the "Acces denied" problem. But I found that in the meantime, in the new releases of the Windows ISO installation images, there is another way, faster : answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update/windows-10-bootrec-fixboot-access-is-denied/747c4180-7ff3-4bc2-b6cc-81e572d546df
