Splitting VHDs

There is a great post on creating "split VHDs" (a VHD that is broken into multiple files on the physical computer) with arbitrary sizes here:

Be warned though - only Virtual PC supports split VHDs (Virtual Server does not).

Cheers,

  This is an interesting technique and may solve my inability to backup to DVD (although, I have just started using harddrives, after all, HDs are getting to be dirt cheap nowadays and I don't have to worry about splitting). I would be interested to learn about any performance penalties or limitations to this technique.

  Do you know any third-party programs that can edit the filesystem inside a dynamically expanding VHD or a multi-pard VHD?
