It preserves the partitioning information of the disk but only copies the data contents for volumes on the selected disk. It will create one VHD for each disk on which selected volumes to reside. You can even have Disk2vhd create the VHDs on local volumes, even ones being converted (though performance is better when the VHD is on a disk different than ones being converted). Disk2vhd uses Windows' Volume Snapshot capability, introduced in Windows XP, to create consistent point-in-time snapshots of the volumes you want to include in a conversion.
The difference between Disk2vhd and other physical-to-virtual tools is that you can run Disk2vhd on an online system. Disk2vhd is a utility that creates VHD (Virtual Hard Disk - Microsoft's Virtual Machine disk format) versions of physical disks for use in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs).
