As you are able to run an ancient program that refuses to be friends with the new Oses, or a unique program that exists for only one system, and - well, of course - not the one you have. And just out of curiosity to look for a new Linux distribution, or any extreme-alternative operating system, not wanting to take on extra commitments to cutting drive into sections, messing around with the loader, and resolve conflicts with your hardware.

If we take the VMware, we need to get a completely empty "disk", which still need to install the operating system. And if you need a specific configuration? If you have already set up a working computer, and you want to experiment with it? Or restore from backup the old configuration and meditate on the theme of "why is all covered with?

Installing and running VMware converter 3.0, you'll see a blank window until the task list. Philosophy of problems rather reserved for a more powerful version of the Enterprize, if you suddenly want to virtualize all 157 machines on your local network, but in any case have to create a task.

So, to create a task, click Import Machine. Run the "master", which gradually set of you all the necessary information. You choose the Physical computer, then This local machine, and further notes the wheels, which is necessary to remove the images and then connect to the virtual machine. If you do not have any special requirements, just select the system disk.
