I run Windows XP SP3 Pro on my desktop PC and I want to create an image of its C Drive. I'd like to run this image in a virtual machine on VMware.
How can I do this?
- Install XP in VMware first – Create a restore point image from the desktop PC and restore that image in the virtual machine
- Create a live disk from my desktop's C drive and run it on VMware.
- Any other way?

I have used Paragon Drive Copy 10.0 Personal Edition for that in the past for Virtual PC. Maybe they have something for VMWare too? Not free, but cheap. – Jan Doggen – 2013-08-24T09:22:07.243
Vmware or Virtual Machine is not an issue... Can use either of them.. – spt025 – 2013-08-24T09:26:08.927
