I have a boot drive out of a Win 2000 machine (the machine is now dead) that I'd like to turn into a virtual machine with Fusion. I can mount the volume on my Mac desktop successfully (the volume is fine) and I have "Converter" from VMWare but Converter doesn't seem to be able to make a virtual machine from the drive. Converter seems to want to have the drive booted in a PC or needs the drive to be imaged using Ghost or VMWare Consolidated Backup before it can make a VM out of it, neither of which I have.

How do I turn this perfectly good Windows volume, currently mounted on my Mac desktop, into a virtual machine with Fusion?

(If I absolutely had to, I could probably make the windows machine not dead, but it seems a big pain to do so for the sole task of making its boot drive into a vm on my mac.)
