Yes it will. After the "import" when the machine powers on for the first time, 
it does a hardware refresh b\c device manager has a bunch of new stuff in it 
now, including new storage controller with new storage.

Oooooooooooooooooo  Face!  :)

But will Windows see that expanded partition?
I think not IIRC. It may see the additional space, but won't just dynamically 
resize.

Roger,

1.       Each volume on the physical box is treated as a separate volume(with a 
separate .vmdk file)in the VMWare environment.

2.       Yes, the wizard driven VMWare converter will allow volumes to be 
shrunk or expanded during the P2V.

3.       No, see #2.

When taking a server P2V, how does the conversion handle the drives and 
partitions?

Is it possible to do any resizing during the conversion?

Do VMs require the same disk space as physical machines?
