I've previously written about我以前写 how to create a virtual machine如何创建一个虚拟机 using VMware and how to使用VMware和如何 install Ubuntu in VirtualBox在VirtualBox虚拟Ubuntu的安装 and和 install Ubuntu in Virtual PC 2007在Virtual PC安装Ubuntu的2007年 . 。 This is all great if you want to start from scratch and install a completely new OS such as Windows, Linux, etc.这是所有伟大的，如果你想从头开始安装，如Windows，Linux等一个全新的操作系统
However, what if you want to simply take a snapshot of your current operating system and virtualize it?但是，如果你想简单地对当前的操作系统的快照和虚拟化呢？ Though I have talked about虽然我已经说过 converting a physical server into a virtual server转换成虚拟服务器一台物理服务器 , I have not yet discussed how to take a consumer OS, such as Windows XP and convert that into your own virtual machine. ，我还没有讨论了如何采取消费者操作系统，如Windows XP，并且将其转化为自己的虚拟机。
Luckily, there is a really cool program that will allow you to turn any PC into a virtual machine in just a few minutes!幸运的是，有一个非常酷的程序，将让你变成一个虚拟机在短短的几分钟任何一台PC！
Disk2vhd Disk2vhd is a nifty little program from Sysinternals that will convert your entire PC into a Microsoft Virtual PC virtual machine.是一个极好的Sysinternals的小程序，将转换成微软的Virtual PC虚拟机整部电脑。 Of course, it will only run on Microsoft Virtual PC, but that's fine since it's now free.当然，它只能运行在微软的Virtual PC，但是那很好，因为现在免费的。
What's cool about this program is that it doesn't require any installation, it just runs as a stand-alone program.什么是酷这个程序是，它不需要任何安装，它只是作为一个独立运行的程序。 This also means you can copy it to your USB flash drive and run the program on any computer you like!这也意味着你可以将它复制到您的USB闪存驱动器和运行的任何计算机上你喜欢的程序！
Secondly, it uses the integrated Snapshot feature of Windows so that it can copy the entire disk while the program is running in Windows!其次，它使用Windows集成的快照功能，以便它可以复制整个磁盘，而该程序在Windows上运行！ There is no need to restart the computer, boot from some disk, etc, etc like many other backup utilities require.没有需要重新启动，从一些磁盘等，像许多其他备份实用程序等计算机，启动需要。
When creating the virtual machine, try to save the VHD file onto a separate drive than the one you are converting.在创建虚拟机，尝试保存到一个单独的驱动器之外的一个VHD文件要转换。 An external hard drive would be perfect.外部硬盘驱动器将是完美的。
When you launch the program, it detects your disks automatically.当您启动该程序时，它会自动检测您的磁盘。 Just select the drives you want to include in your virtual machine and click Create !只要选择的驱动器您要包括在你的虚拟机，然后点击创建 ！ That's it!就是这样！ Once the file has been created,一旦该文件被创建， download Microsoft Virtual PC下载微软虚拟PC and load up your newly created VHD file.并加载您的新创建的VHD文件。
This is also a great way to create a backup of your computer to use later on for testing purposes or whatever you like.这也是一个伟大的方式来创建备份您的计算机上使用用于测试目的，或任何你喜欢的更高版本。 Note that Virtual PC supports a maximum virtual disk size of 127GB, so if you have a bigger hard drive, you won't be able to access it via Virtual PC.请注意，虚拟PC支持最高127GB的虚拟磁盘的大小，所以如果你有一个更大的硬盘驱动器，你将无法访问它通过虚拟PC。
Overall, it's a really useful tool for anyone who wants to either create a backup of their computer at its current state or who wants to virtualize their computer for testing purposes.总之，这是一个任何人谁愿意可以创建在目前的状态是他们的计算机备份或谁想要虚拟化用于测试目的的电脑真正有用的工具。 Enjoy!享受！ [via [通过 Lifehacker Lifehacker的 ] ]
