It was the LanDesk Manager that killed me last time…

check the size with "du -h" ?

Depending on how you made the image depends on how you get the result, and DD 
will write the zeros out too, and not be expanding. (as far as I found out)

There are many p2v options out there. But the easiest way would be to plug in 
your HDD to the system, and then use parted (or gparted) to copy the partitions 
to the img file.

If wasting money is not a problem you can use a physical-to-virtual tool

also disable drivers that won't work in virtual environments.

qemu-img has worked for an "enterprise" VM I use without any issue 
(going from VMDK to raw/qcow2). If the disk is encrypted you might be 
SOL though.
