A new beta of WinImage has been released with support for viewing and editing virtual hard disks from Virtual PC and Virtual Server. You can download a copy of the beta from here:

Personally - I am really happy to see this - as I have always liked using WinImage for my virtual floppy disks and now I can use this tool for virtual hard disks too. Using this beta you can:

  1. Copy files out of a virtual hard disk without booting up the virtual machine (if it is FAT, FAT32 or NTFS formatted)
  2. Copy files into a virtual hard disk without booting up the virtual machine (if it is FAT or FAT32 formatted)

Note that this is a beta release - so it is advisable to backup your .VHDs before playing around with it.

Cheers,
Ben
