I ran an "Entire Machine" P2V for a Windows Server 2012 machine that has 3 volumes: C, D, and F. When it did though, it combined C and F into one VHDX. How might I specify to have C (and the other 2 system partitions) on one VHDX, then D and F on 2 other VHDXs for a total of 3 separate VHDXs?

Thank you for your time.

Welcome to StarWind Forum. Run conversion for a single partition at a time.

Before trying Starwind, I used Disk2VHD to do just that, then manually created the machine and attached the drives. But the machine wouldn't boot. So I didn't know if there was something special about using the "entire machine" option within Starwind. The storage is just very large so I didn't want to waste another 10 hours converting it incorrectly again.

I will give it a try again individually. Thank you.

It makes sense to convert Boot volume as a disk though.
