You can activate formatting and specify the file system beforehand. A hex editor and a set of tools for working with logical partitions are provided. The next step is to specify the image to be migrated. VMDK, VHDX, ING, VHD, IMA formats are supported. After confirming that all the entered parameters are correct, you can activate the recording process.
