Create Disk Image/Convert to Virtual Disk

Post by broho3 »

I am very new to VirtualBox and apologize if this is a total newbie question. I am currently running Server 2003 on a laptop (strictly for development purposes) I would like to install Windows 7 as my Host operating system and run Server 2003 as a virtual machine. My question is this. Is there some way to make a Disk Image of my current Server 2003 installation (apps and all) and then convert that to a virtual hard drive to run as my virtual machine. I just really don't want to have to re-set up this development environment.

Thanks in advance.
