Re: [Xen-users] freely available vmware converter like application?

[Riccardo Veraldi <Riccardo.Veraldi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

you could use dd+netcat and you cna clone anything.

start with a linux live CD on the PC where you have windows installed.
OR just attach the windows disk to a linux PC then prepare another Linux 
machine (your dom0)
on the network a file where you will host your windows HVM virtualized 
system.
use dd to read the windows partition (for example /dev/hda) and with 
netcat you just
inject the dd read bytes to your linux machine (dom0) with a netcat 
server listening and redirect it
into a file that will become at the end your  Windows boot image file.

I did not try it yet but I  plan to do it soon.
