create vhd from safeboot encrypted hdd

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   hello, sorry if this has been previously answered.

i have a hdd (windows xp pro) encrypted with symantec safeboot 5.1. i would like to make a vhd of this disk image for portability. my goal would be to run disk2vhd on the active windows xp image to create the vhd.

any issues or gotchas in creating a vhd from a safeboot encrypted disk? btw, i would expect the need to do a safeboot log-in on the vhd, just like i have to do on the physical hdd when booting.

thanks so much!

	I wish to also use the Disk2VHD on a safeboot encrypted disk. I get the error message: Safeboot has been corrupted (error 92h) Thought I'd reinforce that others are looking to do this as well.

	I don't know if you have tried this, but what if you do the following sequence: Unencrypt the safeboot drive Create the vhd (run disk2vhd) Boot the vhd Run safeboot from within the VM
