    Creating image from comp

    Is there some way I can make an image from my machine.
    I want to copy it to a VM.

    Even if you can create the image, you may encounter problems with hardware drivers. VirtualBox emulates a small set of devices, which are probably not the same ones you've got in your system.

    My advice is to just do a fresh install in VirtualBox and copy over the data you need. You'll probably save time in the long run.
