Disk2vhd and VirtualBox woes
-
You could use VMware converter to make VMDKs of it, then bring it into VirtualBox that way.

VMware vCenter Converter?
-
Converter standalone

Arrrg...The big G is showing all downloads from vCenter and the same goes for the download page on Vmware's download site.

Could you rephrase that? I'm not sure what you meant there.

I Googled VMware Converter and can only find this: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/info/slug/infrastructure_operations_management/vmware_vcenter_converter_standalone/5_0

That's the one!

Thanks!

WMware vCenter Converter won't work with .vhd. "The file you selected is not a supported source."

You need to P2V the machine while it's running.
-
yeah...the Physical PC is dead.
-
-
Well, that's unfortunate! Try spinning it up in Hyper-V.
-
Yes, however I thought by having the vhd I would be able to visualize it.
-
core2quad Q6600 doesn't allow Hyper-V in Windows 8 (missing slat)
-
Surely you must have a server somewhere you could use?
-
I guess I can spin up a W7 PC and see if I can run the vhd in Virtual PC
-
If I did get a server up and running, would I be able to convert the vm from one type to another and get it off the server?
-
If it boots in Hyper-V, you could then P2V it to your heart's content.

Yup. Once it is running it is easy.
