Copying WinToUSB disk to Gpart partition

B

I have just created a WinToUSB USB stick with Windows on it. What I'd like to do is copy it to gpart partition and boot it up using Grub.... Has anyone tried this?

Can I dd if=/dev/da1 of=/dev/da0p4 ?

The Windows installation is in some VHD format... presumably this is some proprietary Microsoft archive format. Is there any way to extract files from it?

Click to expand...

7zip is able to extract this archive, not sure if it can pack it yet... Don't know if there is a FreeBSD port yet...

.... (a few moments later)

Of course there is....

Why haven't I installed it yet, and how do I get Midnight Commander to use it? :)
