   Look at qemu-img, it does almost all that sort of thing. I thinkVB has its own    
   utilities for doing such things too but coming from a Linux/Xen backgrouond   
   for    
   virtualisation, I just used what I already knew. I am pretty sure that my OS/2    
   disks are all 'raw' format which sounds pretty much what you are describing so    
   it might just work without any conversion.
