No, not necessarily a product, but a process.  How do I take a physical 
install and run it as a virtual guest in Linux.  Right now it's on a separate 
partition, and I'd like to run it as a guest in my Linux install to avoid ever 
having to boot to it again.  I'm not really concerned with what product does 
it, just that it does, and how do I do it.
