How do I convert a .vhd disk image to work with VMWare Fusion 2?
- by Paul D. Waite
I’ve just installed VMWare Fusion 2 on my Mac.
Microsoft makes available some Virtual PC disk images containing different versions of IE, so that us humble web developers can test our code on them:

I want to convert these .vhd files to work with VMWare Fusion 2.
Note: VMWare Fusion 3 can import .vhd files natively (File Import). This works just fine on the Microsoft IE compatibility VMs.
I’ve tried VMWare Converter Standalone on Windows, but it doesn’t work with .vhd files (as of the current version, 4.0.1).
Any ideas? VMWare’s website is confused corporate hell.
