How to create vhd from physical disk with openSUSE?

Question

linux

The situation is this, there is an old computer that is barely breathing. You need to make a virtual one from its physical hdd, so that later you can run it in virtualbox on a better machine.

Answer 1

Try using the dd utility under Linux to create a disk image file where sdX is a disk from an old computer , then use the qemu-img utility to convert it to the desired format
dd if=/dev/sdX of=/home/user/disk.raw

qemu-img -f raw -O vpc /home/user/disk.raw /home/user/disk.vhd

Also, if my memory serves me, the native format for virtualbox is "vdi", so

qemu-img -f raw -O vdi /home/user/disk.raw /home/user/disk.vdi

Answer 2

Take an image (dd, Clonezilla, Paragon, Acronis, etc.) Deploy the image to virtual. disk
