* Use a [[USB]] [[disk]] to store an image of your computer's [[hard disk]]:
 
dd if=''/dev/sda'' of=''/hdimage.img''
 
This can be used if your harddisk is ''/dev/sda'' and you want your [[image]] [[file]] at ''/hdimage.img''.
 
* Download and [[install]] [[VmWare]] on your host computer.
 
* use qemu-img from the [[qemu]] [[package]] to transform your harddisk image to a vmware image:
 
qemu-img /mnt/usb/hdimage.img -O vmdk /hdimage.vmdk
 
* you can now use your vmware image to boot your virtual guest computer.
