Some useful diagnostics about the source VDI, such as the partition map and the internal fileystem.

User choice to either keep the old UUID or generate a new one for the clone.

Merge snapshot VDI chain into a single VDI (VHD and VMDK snapshot chains supported too).

Can handle GPT partitioning in addition to legacy MBR.

Ability to enlarge the maximum size of a virtual disk, optionally enlarging the main partition too.

Ability to repair common forms of header corruption.

Ability to compact (discard unused blocks from) the clone, with no need to run sdelete/zerofree first.

A CLI interface too (for people who like that kind of thing!).

Reads VDI,VHD,VHDX,VMDK,Parallels HDD,RAW files and physical drives, writes VDI.

(*) Īttached to this message is a zip file containing the software tool that I wrote, which I call 'CloneVDI' (currently at version 4.01). As a recent vacation project I decided to try to write a nice simple tool that provided a good answer to all of these questions. Also, questions often arise related to VDI files such as 'how do I increase the maximum size of a VDI?' or 'how can I make my dynamic VDI file small again?'. Many Windows users dislike the fact that you currently have to use the Command Prompt to clone VDI files (*).
