Creating dyn vhd from raw disk

Open luisfdez opened this issue 13 years ago • 3 comments

Hi andreiw,

It was a pleasure to find your vhd tool, it works great, but now I'm facing some problems.... I want to create a dynamic vhd from a raw image, the command syntax suggests me that it's possible but I get the following error:

Error: VHD size not multiple of block size

Do you know what could be the problem? is it possible to create a dyn disk from a raw image? am I missing something?

Thank you very much and great job :)

Hey,

Could you paste the whole session? I mean the command and all output. Thanks!

Can you also give me the output of "ls -l" of the raw image you're trying to convert?

Hello sir, I allow myself to write to congratulate you for making public the creation of VHD, I know it dates a little, but like many others I use the VHD to boot OS. With very small modifications I carried your VhdTool on Mac Os X. So I use vhd on NTFS partitions to start with Gru4Dos a VHD that will open a DMG on an HFS + partition, I know it's not too practical but it works. The only problem is that mac Os X does not recognize native virtualization and that's why we need to do a lot of manipulation. I thank you because thanks to your VhdTool I can create Vhd directly in Mac OS X and read them on Windows without any other constraints. Thank you
