VMware to Microsoft Virtual Machine Conversions with VMDK2VHD
Dugie's Pensieve has an article about a new tool called VMDK2VHD. He's also written a quick little guide for how the process worked. Could be a pretty handy tool if you like using the 2 environments.
* 'Scrub' the VMware Image using the first half of that very fine guide from Chris Wolf over at SearchServerVirtualization.com
* Use VMDK2VHD to convert the VMDK virtual disk to to a VHD
* Create a new VMC with roughly the same hardware (IDE drives, etc, etc) in Virtual PC 2007
* Attach your newly created and converted VHD
* Power up you new VMC, login and wait (a few minutes) for *all* the new hardware to be detected
* I clicked cancel to the new hardware driver wizard
* I also clicked no to the reboot - hey livin on the edge here
* Install the Virtual Machine additions (v13.724)
* Reboot
* Let the hardware wizard run
* Tada!
