Convert VHD(Virtual PC) to VDI(Virtual Box)

Convert VHD(Virtual PC) to VDI(Virtual Box)

有這 VDH -> VDI 需求的人我想都看的懂英文，
所以我用英文寫這兩種方法。

我有嘗試過成功轉換 VHD(Virtual PC 2007) -> VDI(Virtual Box 2.2.2) OK

Method #1: Use /bin/dd

0. Create a fixed size VDI, identical size as VHD.
1. Install Virtual Machine in VirtualBox with any Linux(Ubuntu) or any Linux-LiveCD Disto.
2. Attach Source(VHD) as hda (or sda)
3. Attach Target(VDI) as hdb (or sdb)
4. Boot up to linux vbox
5. Use root to execute => dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=1048576

(note: if your system is slow, try to downsize bs 1048576 -> 65536)

Method #2: Use Clonezilla

0. Create a fixed size VDI, identical or bigger size as VHD.
1. Install Clonezilla Disto.
2. Aatccah Source(VHD) as hda (or sda)
3. Attach Source(VDI) as hdb (or sdb)
4. Boot up to linux vbox
5. Run Clonezilla to clone disks for you

Clonezilla => http://clonezilla.org/

理論上不轉換 Virtualbox 也認得 Virtual PC VHD 和 VMware VMDK，轉換只是為了方便管理

簡易 Clonezilla Disk to Disk Clone 使用方式

1. Language = English
2. Don't Touch Keymap
3. Start CloneZilla
4. Device-Device
5. Beginner Mode
6. Local Disk to Local Disk
7. Source = hda
8. Destination = hdb

Clonezilla 比 /bin/dd 好的地方是他認得 MBR, Parition Metadata, NTFS, EXT2/EXT3 等常見 Filesystem
Clone 起來只需要更大的 destination，不需要一模一樣的 destination
