oopsilon.com— Many of us have a dual-boot setup, but it gets annoying to reboot between Windows and Linux. With this guide, you can run your existing Windows partition on VMware Player in Linux, all for free!

P2V blows chunks. When you run it, it suggests that you use a 3rd party app to do the imaging. All P2V does is install a few basic drivers, it's not even free and it's certainly not worth paying for.
Getting error message in Vmplayer that says that VMPLAYER is not able to find vmdk file. my hard disk is /dev/sda in linux, so I changed that part of the vmdk. Looks very useful, but doesnt work for me yet.

vmware is very fast because it is not emulating the cpu and with multi-core computers commonplace it can have a dedicated cpu!

I've got windows installed on an nForce 570 raid striped array. Is there any way for me to mount this?
