There are a couple of problems with the vmdk image created
1. System image creation in Windows 7 doesn't take a bootable image of
the system. Just creates a replica of the C: drive in vhd format.
2. Even if its made usable, Its huge in size - 49 GB
Has anyone tried this before? Please suggest a tool for creating bootable
snapshots of Windows 7 VMs. The working instance is running on VMWare
player now.
Thanks,
Narendran.
