If you only really need hda1, then you could copy hda only as much as it contains hda1. And hope that vditool will not get confused. It could also help to pad out the file with sparse data to have the same size as the real hda and use vditool on this. It is just an idea, never tried it myself. Regards, David

Hm. As I have no hdb or anything the like, I guess I am out of luck
and my only way to happiness is a new install.
