I know you can use VMware vCenter Converter, and then use the drive with Virtualbox. On Thursday, 29-11-2012 on 12:03 Erik Mitchell wrote: I am planning on buying a new laptop soon. I will be getting a solid state drive right away, and am planning on installing Debian as my main OS. I'd like to take the Windows install that's on the manufacturer's hard drive and move it to a virtual disk image for VirtualBox. Has anyone ever done this? I did a quick search and it looks like it's something you can do, but I'm curious to know if anyone has ever tried it and if there's anything I need to watch out for. Thanks, Erik -- Erik K.
