Fusion: Can I migrate from a PC Hard disk?

[fredr500]

My Windows laptop died with a fan error.

The hard drive is fine, I can read it from a USB dock.

Is there a way to build a VMWare Fusion VM from the drive? I can't us the PC migration tool since it requires a running PC.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

I've usually done this (Physical to VM conversion) as a two step process.

Image the drive with Acronis True Image. Import the image (.TIB file) using VMWare Converter.
