Need Help running XP in Win 7

I have two identical PCs (same make, model, etc) one is running Win 7 the other XP. Want to create an ISO image of the XP PC and run it as a VM in the Win 7 PC using VMware. But I don't know how to create an ISO of the XP PC. Don't have any restore disks for the XP PC.

Does anyone know of a way to create an ISO of the XP PC? Or how to create an ISO of a Syspreped Ghost image.
Or another way of running XP within Win 7.

Sounds like you're trying to do something similar to what I want to do. I think what you can do is use easus to create an image of your XP disc, and then copy that disc via direct connection, to your Windows 7 machine. Once you set the parameters, you should be able to create a VM, and then run easus inside the VM to restore the image...
