HOW-TO Convert old Windows 2000 Server to Microsoft Virtual Server VM


I have an Windows 2000 Server sp4 that is running Active Directory and DNS server. I want to take an image of that server and run it on Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2. I googled a lot and see different options to do this but nothing seems concrete or complete. I have litte experience in Virtualization and can import vm files. Also, this system is a older SCSI mini server. Not sure if I will face driver issues when this goes online.

Thanks again guys,

This is a good solution and I accept it. I have tried different versions of Symantec but I cannot get the harddrives to be detected. My system is so old that I just built a new BDC and promoted it to a PDC.
Thanks again,
Not exactly the solution I expected. I was thinking of some tool which could help detect the older drives, nevertheless a very good suggestion.
