I am having trouble with converting a vmdk file to a vhd file.

Is it possible to convert a vmdk file without running it in a VM. So it will just convert and create the same file but in VHD format?

The size of the vmdk file is 400GB and I am wanting to eventually upload it into Azure

Thanks in advance

Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 3.0. It will even upload it to Azure for you.

  • I am trying to use this and I am up to "Source" section but I don't have a VM to connect to, I just have the vmdk file. Is is possible to convert the file without connecting to a VM. I have tried converting it how @blaughw said and I get this error; "No suitable drive was found at path (file\path\name.vmdk). Could this be happening because it is located on an External HDD?? – T-BONE Apr 08 '15 at 02:03
  • See the answer from blaughw below, refer to the answer on superuser: http://superuser.com/a/515985/391940 – Mark Henderson Apr 08 '15 at 04:39
  • Thankyou everyone. I am currently using another program called 'WinImage' and if that doesn't work then I'll be back – T-BONE Apr 08 '15 at 04:52

Blerg, this is a duplicate, but the dupe was migrated to SuperUser FROM SF.se.

See Mark Henderson's answer, that's the gist of it.

  • Actually it came from SO, and that's because SO cannot migrate to SF any more. This is probably a case where it should have come here. – Mark Henderson Apr 08 '15 at 04:39
