In this guide, we will create a Hyper-V VM with Windows 10 Enterprise Preview, prepare the VHD and upload it to Windows Azure, and connect to the Windows VM for use in the cloud. While Azure does support plenty of server OS options that you can choose from a gallery and have up and running within minutes, Windows 7 and 8 images are currently only available to MSDN Subscribers. Azure does provide the capability to upload your own VHD to run on their platform, though. 3.Running a workstation OS in the cloud may not be the most practical solution at this time, but it may prove useful in some test lab scenarios. The CZ image is on a nas but can be moved to a USB.Ĭorrect me if im wrong 1. Ive never seen CZ images supported by VHD You can boot into windows using the VM or you can shut it down and mount the VM VHD file using disk management. Start up the vm do your normally clonezilla restore, and you should be done. Attached the USB drive to the VM and download and attached the ISO of clonezilla to the vm as well. And I don't think CloneZilla supports VHD files, maybe I am is the CloneZilla image located? If it is on a USB drive then it should be easy just create a new VM with a drive the same size as the original. You would need to run it from the boot disk. I can't think of a way to restore the image to the VHD, CloneZilla doesn't have a program you can run from within windows as far as I am aware. And I don't think CloneZilla supports VHD files, maybe I am is the CloneZilla image located? If it is on a USB drive then it should be easy just create a new VM with a virtual drive the same size or bigger as the physical drive the clonezilla image is of (hopefully that makes sense). From there you could either mount the vhd in the VM and boot, or simply mount it in Win10 and browse to the files you need. You could create a new VHD in the windows 10 disk management (More actions -> Create VHD) then restore the image to there.
