Re: [PLUG] Is anyone running vmware?

VMware can indeed make use of a physical partition as a virtual machine
hard drive.  And it is certainly possible to convert a physical XP
install to a virtual XP install, though it is difficult and time
consuming (or at least it was for me).

I got it working, though it wasn't necessarily according to the how to
that I followed
(http://diaryproducts.net/about/vmware/migrate_windows_xp_2000_to_vmware)
and I still ended up reinstalling XP, and calling Microsoft for
reauthorization.
