VirtualPC Drive ---> Hard Drive

[SpeedFreak03]

I set up Gentoo on Connectix Virtual PC 5.2. It is running really good, and I have it all set up. But now I wanna "transfer" the image to my HDD directly, so I can boot up. I just need to get the files into a normal partiton, then I will set up the boot stuff. Is this possible? BTW, Gentoo is awesome!

Anyone?

Hmmm... well what I'd try is:
1. resize virtual partition to match real drive
2. give the virtual machine access to the real drive
3. in the virtual machine: dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1 [swap in correct drives/partitions]

Then you'd just need the boot loader and that should work.
