Hi Shamil et al Here is a free tool: http://www.starwindsoftware.com/converter to: <quote> Convert VMDK to VHD and VHD to VMDK for free StarWind Converter is a downloadable V2V conversion tool for virtual machines. You can use it to convert VMDK to VHD files and VHD to VMDK as well as to IMG file, which is a native StarWind format. This is a very simple but useful file conversion tool that will convert virtual hard drive images from VMware's VMDK format into the Microsoft's VHD format. It is a sector by sector copy operation from one format to the other. It does not modify the source image and will leave it so you can continue to use it. </quote> /gustav >>> Gustav at cactus.dk 20-09-2010 15:37 >>> Hi Shamil I have not used Ghost for years. I have read about some utils from VMware and MS that can convert between physical and virtual machines and images but if that includes Ghost I have no idea. As for having VS running in the cloud, I think that is a bit optimistic even for a "not that far future" ... If you have a need like that now, I would use a simple remote desktop connection or - if you need to pass firewalls - the free version of LogMeIn to control my main workstation. /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 20-09-2010 15:13 >>> Hi Gustav at all -- I'm getting installed a fresh Win7 with MSSQL2008 and VS2008 - and I have made a few Norton Ghost images of this system install on different stages. Is there any way to have that images converted to MS Virtual PC or VMWare formats or XenDesktop(http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/home.asp) or (please recommend better options of VMs) to maybe use that images somewhere in not that far(?) future on the cloud and just have "lightweight" note-/net-book to work with that "PC on the cloud"? Thank you. -- Shamil
