Disk2vhd,convert my PC to Hyper-V Virtual Machine

Senario:

I have my development PC or Workstation with lot of applications like SQL Server,Visual Studio installed, and in-case my PC goes down then I have to go through the lengthy procedure of hooking and setting up a new development machine.Since we have a Hyper-V 2008 SP1 (not R2 yet) server with enough RAM,Can i :-

1.Use the Disk2vhd by systinternals and vhd my C: and D: and host in on Hyper-V and get it to Boot? (Windows XP SP3)

2.Will having bad sectors on D: drive halt the Disk2vhd making ?

3.Should I uninstall my current drivers before I do the Disk2vhd so that hyper-v does not cause a blue screen?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Solution 1:

1. Yes, as long as both are bootable drives to begin with. If you are referring to D: as being a data drive, you can do that too. Just check it off when making the disk in disk2vhd, then add a second hard disk in the VM settings.

2. It won't halt it, they are skipped over.

3. Don't worry about changing drivers, on first boot of the VM the hardware is detected and the appropriate drivers are installed if necessary.
