You may want to peruse the vmware forums, e.g. search=ghost.

I don't have any experience doing it but I read that VMWare has the ability
to open
or 'convert' a Norton Ghost image - seems like this would be suited to your
need.

Hello Folks,

  Do you have any experience converting physical machines into Virtual
machines to be used with Microsoft Virtual PC or even VMWare?

  I'd like to do this with client desktops or even servers that where hacked
or must be checked, forensics, I mean.

  Thanks,

  Antonio
