Cloning BitLocker encrypted disk to VMWare Fusion image?

0

I have a ThinkPad running Windows 7 Enterprise with a BitLocker encrypted drive. I would like to clone or somehow convert this physical machine into a virtual machine that I can with either VMWare Fusion 5 or Parallels Desktop 8 on OS X.

Is this even possible given the BitLocker encryption?

VMware vCenter Converter should be able to convert it. You may need to disable BitLocker, decrypting the entire drive, first, since BitLocker is not supported within virtual machines.
