[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 966022, member: 37647"] Vmware has a free standalone converter. It will convert your physical system into a virtual disk (P2V) in vmdk format. If you want to use it with Virtualbox, you just install Virtualbox, and then you can convert your virtual disk to vdi format. Actually, Virtualbox will run it even in vmdk format, but there is a performance hit. You mentioned something about grub: please note that if you use the Vmware converter, and you had more than one OS in the boot partition of your physical machine, you will might get a boot error when you try to use the virtual disk you just created. However, you can solve the boot error just as you would on a real system. For instance, if you like the Macrium Reflect boot repair tool (like I do) just add the ISO of it to your virtual machine, boot your virtual machine into it, and run the repair tool. [/QUOTE]
