There is a similar tutorial from Microsoft how to create a virtual hard disk from a physical windows installation to be used with MS VPC, those VHDs are compatible with VirtualBox.– Molly7244Jan 30, 2010 at 13:32
If I understand what you want to do correctly, the way to go might be disk2vhd from System Internals. It will make your Hard drive with XP into a virtual Hard drive which you can then import into a VM.
