  2. Purchase a virtualization program. One option is Disk2vhd.

  3. To use Disk2vhd, you can either use the graphical interface or the command line utility. For example, using the command disk2vhd \MACHINE\folder\disk.vhd, Disk2vhd will capture all system volumes and save the VHD file to the default network location.
