Convert existing Mac OS X 10.6.7 to VMDK

[JazzMaxster]

I'm still working on a solution that may work (converting a CDR/ISO image of my hard drive to VMDK with qemu-img), but while I'm doing that I thought I'd post the question anyway. I searched the forums extensively and couldn't find anything specific to this.

 

I've recently built a PC, and already have an old MacBook that I've been using as my production computer. I'm attempting to convert the existing installation over to a virtual machine, in VMWare Player. I've already successfully installed to a virtual machine with the retail Snow Leopard disk, but I'd prefer to convert an image of my existing installation on Mac hardware to a bootable VMDK image for VMWare Player.

 

Does anyone have any experience with this? Is converting with qemu-img the way to go?
