You got me rightly, Eric, but I'm actually talking about my Windows XP
PC at home. I want to VMWare it somehow so that I can 'easily' run
multiple instances of Linux and M$ Server for self-study and
certiifcation purposes. The goal is to make myself harder to "lay
off". It looks like VMWorkstation is $189 and ESXi is free. I need the
ESXi approach, I think. But I can't go that way if it will break my
existing XP PC. I really like it the way it is.
Sorry everybody ... but I felt quite lost and just needed a little boost.

While VMware Converter is certainly a possibility, I've taken a
different tact when virtualizing some servers. This is fairly easy to
do on a QMT host, providing you have ample disk space.
To restate the situation, you presently have a QMT server running on
bare iron, and you want to have the QMT server running as a virtual
guest on the same host.
.) install vmware server (I'd recommend v2) on the host
.) create your virtual QMT guest server
.) shut down QMT
.) run qtp-backup on the bare-iron QMT server
.) copy the backup file to QMT guest server
.) run qtp-restore on the QMT guest server
.) adjust network settings so that traffic goes to QMT guest
Once it's all up and running on the new QMT guest, you can remove QMT
from the host.
