    Repartition VHD?


    Does anyone know how to repartition a vhd?

    I have a server backup that I would like to boot from in hyper-v to recover some data.

    The problem is that the main partition doesn't include a system reserved partition and I can't boot from it without that.

    on Windows 7/2008, run diskmgmt.msc, attach the vhd, then partition the disk as if it's a real disk. Unattach the vhd.
