Convert Disk While OS Not Running?

$

I'm looking to virtualize a physical disk running Vista.  My machine is a multi-boot PC with 3 drives, each containing a different OS.

Disk 1: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Disk 2: Windows Vista 32-bit

Disk 3: Windows XP Pro 32-bit

 

Each one of these disks has 2 partitions, a primary for the OS and a logical drive for data.  I'm just looking to virtualize the primary OS partition to a virtual disk.

 

Looking at the documentation, it appears that to do a virtualization, the Source OS partition needs to be up and running. Is there any way to just point the converter to that primary partition while its not running?

 

Also, I don't see that Windows XP is supported.  Is it possible to use this tool to virtualize that primary partition also?

 

Thank You
