Simply download BackupChain, create a disk backup task and choose the virtual disk (VHD, VHDX, etc.) as a source and the physical disk as the target.
So finally when all preparations are done you press OK several times, I used mouse bcz for some reason keyboard pressing didn't work for me in this old-school UI, and you end up in the copy processĬonclusion: copying of 167Gb partition into 300Gb target took 52m for me, but I did it from external drive and this drive had exFAT filesystem, so you numbers may be smaller.Have you ever wanted to copy a VHD to a physical disk? Or copy a VMDK, VHDX, or VirtualBox VDI to a physical disk? You can do this for free using BackupChain’s V2P converter tool, which is part of its disk backup tools. Or you can select a partition and it will propose to make also sector-by-sector, or only occupied space So here you select the attached VHD (remember the letter?) as source and then it suggests you to use disk sector-by-sector copy if this is one-partition-disk. Then it shows you the available disks in the system where you should select the source diskĪs one can see, there are other types of devices there, including RAW file, so maybe VHDs are even directly can be attached to savepart, but I decided to stick to a more conservative approach and attached VHD beforehand. Then close the console, and launch the savepart executable under admin account like was highlighted above and you will see the following start windowĪs our task is to copy VHD to disk, here we select Copy an element. After you attach it will be visible in console blue-colored, like this First, attach the VHD in Disk management, so that it becomes visible as a usual disk in the system. I describe only VHD-to-Disk copy, other tasks this utility is capable of are out of the scope here. Important! you must launch the executable with elevated privileges (as Administrator), otherwise you will not see all the disks in your system. 
Spartw64.exe is the one you need, if you are on the recent W10 version (1903, 2004 or 20H2).
Īfter the unpacking of archive you will see this list UPDATE 2021: here is the expansion of the original answer for less experienced users.įirst, contains a subset of utilities for working with partitions, mostly commandline, for the above concrete task you need to go to Download section and download. Once the VHD is attached it can be restored to a physical partition by savepart as if it were a physical partition. Savepart is a tool (free but not open source, available for both Windows and Linux) that can be used to image partitions.
Use savepart which is free and can be downloaded from. If you prefer to do it using Windows based tool (but the same tool works on Linux too) you can do this:
