You can also use the P2V app to take a physical machine and convert it into a VMWare image... someday I'll do this with my work laptop... -dhs Dean H.

The converters take some time for it to build the image but it's slick. Well worth the effort. John -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean H.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] those who need windoze
yeah a buddy of mine did that when switching from pc to mac he just imaged his dell and offloaded it to an external drive. If he ever is missing anything he just fires up the old box. Pretty slick. I have a nice xp pro install that is around 1 gig that i use for testing. -Steven On 4/7/07, John Mason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The converters take some time for it to build the image but it's slick.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] those who need windoze
I just learned about this idea myself recently (though I've been a fan of VMs for a long time). I blogged about it, and in particular the VMWare Converter (which replaced the no-longer available P2V), at: http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2007/3/12/backup_your_computer_as_ a_vm /Charlie http://www.carehart.org/ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean H.
