I just used the vmware converter to clone a windows 2000 physical machine onto a virtual box VM flawlessly. We needed to rescue the software running on the machine due to age, so a VM was the way forward. Just had to tweak the ACPI setting in the CPU advanced config and win2k booted straight away. Vmware converter is a free program that does support some linuxes. Not sure if you can run it from linux though. getting an image of a hard drive is one thing, getting it to boot as a vm straight away, is entirely different. dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
