Hi Max and Stuart Well, that's one heavy reason to stick with VMware for server VMs: http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/ /gustav >>> stuart at lexacorp.com.pg 15-03-2009 08:47 >>> Not very easy at all. It would be like trying to put your boot drive in a different PC with a different BIOS and different graphics, audio, networking hardware etc. You'd get all sorts of hardware conflicts. If you could get it working, Windows would then probably decide that you were running a pirate copy because of all the hardware changes. Just look at it as an opportunity to clean all the crud out of your current system - you know, all those programs you've installed and since removed but which have left bits of themselves bloating your registry, cluttering up your hard drive and generally slowing your system down. The great thing is that you once you have a couple of VMs set up the way you want you won't have that problem in the future. -- Stuart On 15 Mar 2009 at 6:28, Max Wanadoo wrote: > Here is a stupid question so apologies: > > When I install my Virtual bits, can I then, somehow, create an image from my > physical system (maybe as an ISO) and move that to the virtual machine so > that I dont have to reinstall everything?
