While performing the last set of investigations, I have produced a simple web based application for automating the conversion of dd images into VMWare Virtual Disks. I have called this tool dd2vmdk – it is accessable at http://www.bschatz.org/2006/p2v/index.html

Currently the tool carves up the image into a virtual disk composed of a number of files, where partitions are contained individual files. The next version of the tool will support directly modifying the partition table and NTFS boot record in-situ within the image file.
