I was trying to create a Virtual PC clone of my Toshiba laptop today, and I noticed that it's C: drive does not appear in the list of Volumes to include: (or any volumes at all for that matter! There are none listed.)

Is there some service I need to turn on that will list the volumes?

  • disk2vhd uses a snapshot to back up a drive. I've never run into this problem, but perhaps that will help. –  Jul 28 '12 at 16:47
  • Ok well, I turned on the Removable Storage Service...because the ntbackup required it. But I guess I have to actually make a backup huh? (It's my junker computer, so there's no backup for it, but I guess I'll make one anyway). – leeand00 Jul 28 '12 at 17:01
  • So nobody knows this one huh? – leeand00 Aug 03 '12 at 03:38

I know this probably sounds dumb, but make sure the account you are logged in as is an Administrator account in windows (and also try running disk2vhd from a flashdrive in the administrator account) it didn't work for me until I did this.

  • He could also make sure he's running the app as an administrator... (right click, run as administrator...) – BrainSlugs83 Apr 11 '14 at 05:35
  • Running as administrator by means of the right click menu didn't work for me (in Windows7). I had to login with an admin account for it to show the volumes. This answer actually motivated me to try this after I already tried "run as administrator". – thomas Jun 22 '22 at 13:16
