Thanks for the suggestion. I installed VMWare converter but then learned that it doesn't work with dd images. Norton Ghost, Backup Exec, etc images seem to work, but not raw dd images. It can also reportedly connect to a running instance of the OS, but requires admin credentials. Unfortunately the reason why I'm trying to do this rather than doing a full install of WinXP myself is that I'm trying to convert the WinXP image from my work laptop into a VM I can run within Linux, and I don't have full admin privileges within Windows. :( Scott -- Scott Garman sgarman at zenlinux dot com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
