Hello friends :) First post here, I hope it's in the right place.

I'm using HDDRawCopyTool (v1.20, but I tried v1.10 aswell) to extract contents from a raw copy of an old 120GB drive of mine. I wish to explore the content of the IMG that HDDRawCopy produced.

This is how I intended it to go:
- Create a Virtual Hard Drive using the Windows disk manager (diskmgmt.msc), a little bit bigger than the size I need (128 GB)
- Now that I have a "Hard drive" of the right size, use HDDRawCopyTool to copy the IMG onto it.
- => SOURCE: MyDump.img (120.03GB)
- => TARGET: FBVirtual Msft Virtual Disk (128.84 GB)

I click "START". Nothing happens - nothing written in the log, no error, no freeze, no nothing. The VHD is valid, it's not mounted as read-only, and the IMG file is valid too.
When I attach a debugger like WinDBG to HDDRawCopyTool and look at the output when i press "start", I see that it's trying to LoadModuleA xmllite.dll (and fails?) - but it doesn't tell me much more.
The "START" button is completely inert, which is weird. I've tried this manipulation on two different PCs, both running Windows 10.

I don't have an actual, physical drive I can burn to explore my IMG so this is my only possibility to look into that IMG file. Does anybody know what is going on and what could be happening, what I can check?
