@passmark hi, thanks for the reply, unfortuantely been very new to this area , and still at the first steps of my learning, i may sound confused lol, but I always try my best to source the answer before asking on such forums.
but to answer your statement, I was under the impression that E01 was foreniscally sound, however after further research, i discovered any method can be "sound" .
This was more of an issue of how to preserve the original VHD, and basically make copies of it ( again something I only just understood over past day or so, still a long journey me thinks.Â
@azrael WOW OK! you have just answered what I was looking for! I didnt even ask this ( as I semi didnt know how to put across what I needed), but this is EXACTLY what i needed, im clearly a NOOB!

Thank you again very kindly, genuinely that has helped me a huge amount.
I will make the usual remark.
A "static" (not "dynamic") VHD (not a VHDX) is nothing but a "RAW" or "dd-like" image with appended a "CONECTIX" single sector.
There is nothing really-really to "convert" "from VHD", *any* tool that can read/access/capture/image a RAW image can also read/access/capture/image a VHD.
