The stub just glosses over it, so I'll explain it in more detail here:įirst, get macrium reflect (free) - either through: choco install reflect-free at admin prompt if you have chocolatey, or download here: I am not sure if it works, but I just did the process I describe below and it worked great.

If you don't want to go through all the manual steps I explain, you can try your luck with ImgtoVHD: This idea is not my own, I got it from these people - looks like they even have a new tool for making the process even easier I didn't know about until I was looking around for their guide. I just wanted to chime in to say I have a great way to do this, too - it might be a little easier, but it does require the extra step of creating an intermediate disk image (which may or may not be beneficial, depending on your situation)

Next task is to reconfigure the driver of your new VM. Into a regular vmdk that no longer needs the external disk.ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation/vmware-vdisksmanager.exe -r import.vmdk -t 0 "brokenserver.vmdk" Next you can use the vmware-vdiskmanager command to convert this small import.vmdk (which is just a pointer to the external disk at this time ) Now you should have a very small new vmdk named "import.vmdk" in the directory of "broken server" When you sure you got the right number click NEXT.Ĭall the vmdk in next screen "import.vmdk" and safe it. Make sure you select the external drive with the harddisk of the server. Now you should see a screen popup which allows you to select a PhysicalDrive by its drivenumber. What's the command to convert it? I am running Worstation 12 on Windows 7Īdd hardware > select "harddisk" > select SCSI > click NEXT > select "Use a physical disk" I've actually already created a virtual machine called broken server. I am planning on putting it on a separate external drive that is unused. Lets say that the data is on drive h:\ and is a single partition. What's the command to convert it? I am running Worstation 12 on Windows 7

How to convert laptop drive (with a dead laptop) for use as VMware image? I found this thread but I'm confused about the exact command to convert the hard drive. What's the best way to turn it into a vmdk? I know that I can slave the hard drive to the virtual machine but I'd rather convert it. I can slave the hard drive as an external drive in an enclosure to access the files. Keep in mind the server is dead so I can't run it to access the files that way. How do I do that? I installed vCenter converter but I can only find the options of using the local machine or a remote machine. LAN segments are useful for multitier testing, network performance analysis, and situations where virtual machine isolation are important.I want to take the hard drive of a dead server and convert it to a virtual machine so that I can run it on a replacement server. When you select a LAN segment, the virtual machine uses a private network that can be shared with other virtual machines. For a remote virtual machine, you must select a custom network. You can select a custom network when you modify the network connection setting for a local virtual machine.

When you configure host-only networking, Workstation Pro creates a virtual private network (VPN) connection between the virtual machine and the host system. When you configure Network Address Translation (NAT), the virtual machine shares the IP address and MAC address of the host system.
