If you just want a Qemu/VMWare image, simply use the program dd to copy a partition (say Windows on<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/dev/hda1) to a file (say image-file)
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=image-file bs=1M
Although this "works" you may run into problems with the NT boot sector having the wrong initial data (see eg
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
Just use the program dd.

) and all your drivers will need to be reinstalled for Qemu/VMWare's choice of hardware.
