Disk2Vhd appears to have problems creating VHD's from Windows 2003 with software RAID1. In my case, I could mount the VHD's but they would not appear to have valid contents. My workaround (which I read somewhere else in these forums) is to use TestDisk to recover the partition on the mounted VHD file.

Example
Mount the VHD file from a command prompt, similar to:
diskpart
select vdisk file="C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\TEST.VHD"
attach vdisk
select disk=1
online disk
attach vdisk
select disk=1
online disk
exit
Then use TestDisk to recover the partition:
testdisk_win.exe /cmd /dev/sdb analyze,noconfirm,write
TestDisk is available from:
