[ubuntu-uk] Cloning and moving Win8 OS into a VM

[Byte Soup]

I recently cloned a winXP image into a VM and then can run up the VM from a
Linux host. The Linux host is running on fairly new hardware which is UEFI
compatible but the Linux OS as far as I know is using legacy BIOS and grub.

Would I have problems with running the Win8 image considering its coming
from a machine thats running UEFI boot machine? To give you all the idea of
the process its quite simple, but just take a long time

1. Grab a raw image (mount win8 HDD in a caddy):

dd if=/dev/sdb of=/path/to/image

2. Convert the image from Raw

Has anyone done this successfully on a UEFI image?

Thanks
