[Cialug] W2K Server P2V on VBox

We need to replace a W2K server for a client, and it appears that VBox
might be a good solution (run the old W2K Server image in a VM).

Unfortunately, the available notes seem to be oriented towards a desktop
migration (e.g. trashing the current system by changing HAL drivers before
copying the drive thereby rendering the original system nonfunctional).

Might anyone have some experience with a successful migration? Especially
copying off the OS & creating a working VM from it while the original
system is still viable?

	TIA,
