Transferring a VHD to a new physical server machine


hi, got sbs 2008 virtual server running database , services , ask if possible move sbs server new hardware physical machine , transform vhd physical drive.

is possible? moving virtual server machine physical machine different hardware between them? 

just use "native boot" , leave os in vhd boot on bare metal instead of vm:

it responsibility of os detect hardware change.

since os in vm / on vhd 2008 supported in generation 1 vm, therefore set hardware bios boot (not uefi boot).

the os vhd use space on c:\ of physical storage.  can create second vhd additional data, expand existing vhd(s) or store data directly on same disk os vhd stored on.
