Funny....
HOW?
I think i can attach the disk and a virtual one to the machine . then boot with an Acronis-Boot-CD and clone the disk to the virtual one.

I have used Clonezilla to create an image of an existing hard drive in the past. This seems to work a dream when building a guest.

Is Clonezilla able to create *.vdi images für VirtualBox?
