>I need to create the same image of D: drive on a new ultrabook. This is Windows 8.1. It has 256 GB. I created a VHD of 120 GB. It is still creating the virtual disk. I was just wondering if the size can have an impact on performance. The goal is to be able to continue to work with a D: drive such as before on all other PC and laptops I have been using for years. I only keep the C: for the installations and OS.
One simple way to achieve that without a VHD is to use the SUBST command:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUBSTIn your case you could create a folder C:\DDrive where you put stuff you want to put on D:. You can then use
SUBST D: C:\DDrive
to map the drive letter D: to that folder.
