creating a hdd image file from a native partition

[Tomoki Taniguchi]

I know that there is a a free tool from VMware (VMware Converter)
http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/
which i believe would make the needed partition image.

My next question is can I access that partition using Xen?

TIA,
Tomoki
