I have a weird problem on Disk2vhd.exe, while the disk is connected via a SATA cable for sure (That I can boot it without touching the computer lid proves it) and also the disk is recognized in Disk Management, the disk is not recognized in Disk2vhd.exe.

I'm not sure if it's related or not that the disk is not Windows but a Linux (ubuntu 20.04) system, but I heard that hyper-v can boot Ubuntu/Linux so it shouldn't be the problem, I guess. So now I have no idea what can I try. Thanks for your help.

You wish to clone the Linux partition into a VHD file. A possible procedure to do that is as follows:

  • Create a VHD file of the right size (or slightly larger) in Device Manager, Action menu, select Create VHD. This creates a new virtual disk in Windows. See the Microsoft article Create a VHD.

  • Clone the Linux partition to the new (virtual) disk using a third-party product that you will install in Windows. Possible candidates are AOMEI Backupper Freeware or Macrium Reflect.

  • Dismount the VHD from Device Manager.
