title: Azure Uploading VHD Fail
body: <p>I have a bizspark account to azure and i am trying to upload my MS Server 2003 VHD to a Storage/blob in order to access it as a VM. </p>
  
  <p>I used disk2vhd to make the vhd file which is 68Gb.</p>
  
  <p>Then i created a storage with Geo-replication, and added a container.</p>
  
  <p>After that through the azure powershell i did the following</p>
  
  <p>Get the publishing settings :  <code>Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile</code></p>
  
  <p>Import them on azure account:  <code>Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile C:\path</code></p>
  
  <p>Upload the vhd: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Add-AzureVhd -Destination http://pythia.blob.core.windows.net/pythia/OldPythia -LocalFilePath C:\path\server2003.vhd`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>MD5 is calculated correctly but the i got an error.</p>
  
  <p>here are the results:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>MD5 hash is being calculated for the file  C:\server2003.vhd MD5 hash
    calculation is completed. Elapsed time for the operation: 00:22:59
    Creating new page blob... Upload failed with exceptions: Elapsed time
    for upload: 00:10:15</p>
