View Full Version : [ubuntu] Convert Physical partition to VM.

I have a tri boot machine that I would like to convert at least 1 of the "bootable" partitions to a VM - preferably VMWare.

I looked around, and see that VMWare has a free tool, but it seems to require the target to be online. My major issue is that I have only 1 pc to use for this.

Is there any way to virtualize a linux install from either itself, or from another host OS on the same box? (winXP or Win7).

currently, the machine has Windows XP, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.

TIA.
