Physical disk to VHD

I was planning to capture my QAServer to virtual PC so that I can perform my testing during the weekend at my house. Somehow, I've faced many difficulties and it not that simple.
Below the process I've went through:
1. Create virtual PC for QAServer by using Disk2vhd
2. Resize vhd by using diskpart.exe
(Reference: Microsoft)
3. Resize vhd by using VhdResizer
4. Merge partitions by using Partition Master

To know in detail all the partition available in each vhd file, I've used Disk Management available in Computer Management.
Computer Management is accessed from Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management. There are many actions can be performed by using Disk Management, such as Attach VHD, Create VHD, Rename Partition and so on.
