    How do I convert a VHD to VMDK?

    I have made a VHD using DISK2VHD and I wanted to know how to convert the VHD to a VMware VMDK file.

    I have tried to download VSphere Converter, but my VMware account refused to send me my account activation emails.

    If there is any other software or converters I can use, that would be great
