Converting differencing VDI images to fixed, normal ones

Post by ketetefid »

Hello Forum,
Is there any way to convert a differencing vdi image to a fixed one?
I have setup windows xp in my linux box on a dynamically expanding image. However, due to lots of write and read operations and the related softwares it is very slow. I am going to convert the vdi image to a fixed one without reinstalling windowsxp. Is this feasible?
Is there a way to use snapshots of this windows and use/transfer them to a ready fixed normal image disk(with/without a normal windows installed?)
Thanks in advance,
