Oh! I almost forgot.
About the vhd(x) image format, often we can use the disk2vhd Windows tool
to generate a disk clone from a running Windows system.
The import storage accepting the vhd(x) format will help in this case. I
think the same about vdi formats.
But, anyway, I will open an enhanced request in bugzila.

Cheers.
