Question
resources (HR) department that use a local D: drive to store sensitive information. You plan to upgrade all HR devices to increase the local storage capacity by adding a new E:
drive. You have the following new requirements:
- All sensitive documents must be stored locally on a virtual hard disk
(VHD).
- Data migration must be quick and have no data loss.
- Minimize impacts to the user experience.
You need to meet the requirements. What should you do?
Options
- ADownload the tool, and run the disk2vhd command.
- BRun the diskpart command.
- CRun the New-VirtualDisk Windows PowerShell cmdlet.

Why each option
disk2vhd is the correct Sysinternals tool to convert a live physical volume to a VHD file quickly and without data loss.
disk2vhd is a Sysinternals utility that creates a VHD snapshot of a live, in-use volume without requiring the system to go offline, ensuring no data loss and minimal disruption to users. Running 'disk2vhd' against the D: drive converts its existing contents directly into a VHD file that can be placed on the new E: drive, satisfying all three requirements - local VHD storage, quick migration with no data loss, and minimal impact to the user experience.
diskpart is a partitioning and volume management tool used to create, delete, or resize disk partitions; it has no capability to convert a populated volume's data into a VHD file.
New-VirtualDisk creates a new empty virtual disk within a Windows Storage Spaces pool and does not migrate or convert existing data from a physical volume into a VHD.
Disk Management MMC can create new blank VHDs but cannot directly migrate existing data from the D: drive into one, requiring a separate manual copy step that adds time and risk of data loss.
