I'd like to know wha thte best way is to make an exact copy of a vhd image and pu tit onto my hard disk. I've tried xcopy but there seems to be a number of issues rlated to permissions when doing this. Ideally I'd like to copy the bits so that they match exactly on the new drive. I encountered this when trying to restore a vista backup only to discover the idiots work who decided to not let me restore a 400 gig image to a 1 TB drive size.
I've sucessfully mounted the drive in Win 7 which is the environment in which I'm trying ot copy these files.

Robocopy does a much better job than XCopy at preservering ACLs, and like XCopy it's built into Vista/7
