Direct Convert .GHO to .VHD
in [Virtual PC]

Prev: Convert VHD to ISO?

From: Jordan on 10 Feb 2006 10:26 Is there a way or a plan to be able to directly convert a .GHO (Ghost) File into a .VHD (VPC HD)? We have multiple images that are mid, or pre sysprep that we store on .gho files. I would like to be able to directly create a VPC off these images whenever they are updated but right now I have to image them up, back down and then track for any changes. Direct GHO->VHD and VHD->GHO conversion would be amazing. Let me know what the plans are there or if a third party app is already available to do this.
From: Josh Assing on 10 Feb 2006 14:26 Kinda round about 1) Look at winimage 2) boot your vpc image with a new hard drive (empty) the gho on a cd, and a ghostboot floppy -- then restore the gho to the vhd...

From: Jordan on 10 Feb 2006 14:31 Right now we boot it into WinPE and just image it around like that. I want to get away from having to image it at all. I want a direct converion. GHO->VHD file to file, no process in the middle.
