You can 'restore' a machine into a virtual machine using Acronis True
Image Restore (it's a non-free package).  Someone also recommended
another package I think called WinImage (not sure if it's free or not).

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?  If so, how?

Thanks

Max
