Now you can connect the resulted virtual disk to your virtual machine
. Your system has been
virtualized.
You need to close the program to unlock the virtual disk. Otherwise you won’t
be able to connect it to a virtual machine.
Virtualizing system from its backup image
Let’s assume that your system has been corrupted as a result of a hardware failure. You realize it’s
been quite obsolete and it’s next to impossible to replace the damaged hardware devices.
Migration to a new hardware platform seems the best way out, if not for one thing – you still need
access to your software, but you do know for sure that the bulk of it won’t work on the new platform.
Luckily you’ve got a backup image of your old system made with Paragon software – that’s just
enough for its virtualization.
But before you start, please make sure the following conditions are met:
• You’ve got a backup image of your Windows.
• Your hard disk has enough free space to store a virtual image of your Windows (depends
on the system).
• You’ve got one of the supported virtualization software (MS Virtual PC, VMware
Workstation, or VMware Fusion). You can get MS Virtual PC for free if you’ve purchased
Windows 7 Professional or higher and have got a CPU with the Intel-VT or AMD-V support).
As for VMware - you can purchase it online or at a local software store.
To make a virtual disk out of your old system backed up with a Paragon disaster recovery tool, please
do the following:
1. Click the P2V Restore item of the Wizards menu (any of the ways described earlier can also be
used here).
2. On the Wizard's Welcome page, click the Next button.
3. On the Browse for Archive page, specify the required archive:
