VMWare Converter made a VMWare virtual machine for VMWare Player 2.5* out of my 20GB C: drive (onto another drive).I downloaded VMWare Converter, a free tool that makes a virtual machine out of a hard disk partition.I followed the section on “Hard Disk Support” from the VirtualBox guide (this is vital).I installed DesktopOK and saved my desktop icon positions.I slimmed down my windows drive by moving all my data files onto another partition.I was already dual-booting into XP on a separate partition and having played with VirtualBox before, turning the Windows 2000 system into a Virtual Machine (VM) that I could run on Windows XP seemed the right thing to do.įor the record, the steps (after much experimenting) were: I didn’t want to have to go through the pain of completely reinstalling it, but felt the need to move to a (slightly) more up to date OS (Windows XP). I finally got my ancient Windows 2000 system cloned last night. It just seems so easy to use compared with VMWare (though I’m sure VMWare does more). VirtualBox is really quite impressive, especially as you find out more about what it does behind the scenes.
