I know I can (and did). Can't tell if you can.

Yes, check p2v or physical to virtual on the VMWare website.

roughly:
preferably install vmware-guest drivers in the machine
create an empty vmware guest for the machine
use norton ghost to transfer the disk data from hardware to virtualmachine
boot the machine, it will see new hardware.
install vmware-tools and run the machine.


Details: if hte hardware has Scsi disks, give the guest virtual scsi disks. If
the hardware has ide disks, give the guest ide disks.
