How do I import an existing Windows XP installation to a VM?

[128BPM]

Hi all,

Long ago I had a pc with win xp but it died, however the disk is intact. There is some method to use that installation in a VM?


Thanks

Attach the disk to your pc as an internal disk, and boot from it. Then follow instructions for Physical Machine > Virtual Machine for your preferred VM software. In my experience, the free standalone converter from VMWare works pretty well for this.
