Re: [LUG] VM's from disk image

 

yes - grab the vmware convertor to do a p2v migration:  boot once into win 7 install 
the tool and export the image it creates to an external drive. You can then use 
other tools to convert the vmware image to other formats.

Or swap in  clean hard drive and put the win 7 drive in a usb caddy for later and 
run it natively, if and when you need to.
