By the way do you know if I can convert an existing hard-disk
image file to a real harddisk?
Offhand, I don't, but there's probably a tool for doing it.
Never tried, but I'd be very surprised if a simple dd did not do the
trick.
dd if=<virtual-drive-file> of=/dev/sdx
That certainly won't work. VMware virtual disk files are not simple
byte-for-byte images of the virtual disk's contents.
