Converting Phisical to Virtual P2V

"Disk2vhd is tool from Microsoft's Sysinternals group that allows system administrators to create virtual hard disk images (VHD) of running operating systems loaded on physical hardware.
VHDs are the Microsoft’s Virtual Machine disk format used in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs)."

"There are other physical-to-virtual tools that are available to create images out of installed operating systems running on physical hardware; the main advantage of the Disk2vhd tool is that you can run it on a system that is up and loaded as it uses the Windows’ Volume Snapshot capability to create a point-in-time snapshot of the volumes you want to include in a conversion.
The Disk2vhd tool also allows for the ability to create the VHDs on other local volumes including the active one being converted."
