All with the same results. Additionally, I tried the following: Created a VHD on a drive where everything works. Mounted it with vhdmount (got it from virtual server 2k5). Everything worked great. Copied the VHD from the working drive to the non-working 5.4TB drive, and mounting with vhdmount did not work. Got some crazy message about the drive not being initialized.

Solved Error when trying to create VHD using Hyper-V Manager Posted on 2011-07-16 Windows Server 2008 MS Virtual Server 1 Verified Solution 13 Comments 4,867 Views Last Modified: 2012-05-11 Hi. I am just starting out with Hyper-V, have a https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/66ad0119-0722-4d58-b117-5bb1a35fefef/the-server-encountered-an-error-trying-to-create-the-virtual-hard-disk-the-parameter-is?forum=winserverhyperv fresh install, and am getting an error when trying to create a VHD in Hyper-V Manager. The error I receive is: "The server encountered an error trying to create the virtual hard disk. The system failed to create 'd:\Virtual Disks\lbsrv02_01.vhd'. Error Code: A virtual disk support provider for the specified file was not found." I have also attached a screenshot of the error. The error occurs when I click Finish after running through https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/27205578/Error-when-trying-to-create-VHD-using-Hyper-V-Manager.html the New Hard Disk action wizard. It doesn't matter what type of disk I choose to create (i.e. fixed, dynamic) and what output path I choose (i.e. whether in the format d:\disk or \\hyper-v\d$\disk). I also get the same error if I try to create a disk through the virtual machine controller settings. I have tried running Hyper-V Manager on a Windows Server 2008 R2 box and a Windows 7 (x64) box and get the same error. The AV software (NOD32) was disabled in both cases (no AV on the hyper-v server) and no firewalls are enabled. I have manually given the "Domain Admins" group, and the users "Network Service" and "System" Full Control over all folders on the data drive of the Hyper-V server. Strangely, I am able to create new virtual machines using Hyper-V Manager, and change the Hyper-V settings without issue. The issue appears to only affect VHDs. I'll now try and run through as much of the environment as possible. I have a new server (unbranded) running MS Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. Please see the attached the text file "sysinfo.txt" for the results of a systeminfo command. No 3rd party apps are installed and the only changes made beyond the options in the sconfig.cmd window have been: -The firewall being disabled (using the DOS command "netsh advfirewall
2012 Hyper-V: Convert VHD to VHDXPosted in Hyper-V, IT, Microsoft, Powershell, Private Cloud, Virtualization, Windows, Windows 8, Windows Server, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 8, Work With Windows Server 2012 Microsoft released a new Virtual Disk Format called VHDX. VHDX improves the Virtual Disk in a lot of way. Back in October http://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2012/05/windows-server-2012-hyper-v-convert-vhd-to-vhdx/ I wrote a blog post on the improvements of the VHDX Format in the https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000006790 Windows Server 8 Developer Preview. Back then VHDX supported a size of 16TB, with the release of the Windows Server 8 Beta (Windows Server 2012 beta) the new Maximum size changed to 64TB. Some of the VHDX improvements: Support up to 64TB size Supports larger block file size improved performance improved corruption resistance the possibility to add hard disk meta data You can download the VHDX Format Specification. To use this new features you have to convert your existing VHDs into the new VHDX format. You can this do in two different ways, with the Hyper-V Manager or with Windows PowerShell. Convert VHD to VHDX via Windows PowerShell To convert a VHD to a VHDX with Windows PowerShell you can use simple this PowerShell command: PowerShell Convert-VHD TestVHD.vhd -VHDFormat VHDX -DestinationPath C:\temp\VHDs\TestVHDX.vhdx virtual hard disk -DeleteSource 1 Convert-VHD TestVHD.vhd -VHDFormat VHDX -DestinationPath C:\temp\VHDs\TestVHDX.vhdx -DeleteSource Of course you can convert the VHDX back to a VHD using the following command: PowerShell Convert-VHD TestVHDX.vhdx -VHDFormat VHD -DestinationPath C:\temp\VHDs\TestVHD.vhd -DeleteSource 1 Convert-VHD TestVHDX.vhdx -VHDFormat VHD -DestinationPath C:\temp\VHDs\TestVHD.vhd -DeleteSource Convert VHD to VHDX via Hyper-V Manager Start the Hyper-V Manager and click on "Edit Disk…" Now select the VHD you want to convert Select "Convert" Select the target format in this case VHDX Select the new location for your new VHDX Check the summary and click finish Same as with the PowerShell command, you can also convert a VHDX to a VHD. But you have to make sure that the VHDX is not bigger than 2TB. Aviraj Ajgekar already did a post on this TechNet blog about how you can convert a VHD to VHDX via Hyper-V Manager.
