OK, so I have a died Windows XP server machine. I have a functioning HDD with two partitions, that I would need to convert to run on either VMware Workstation or Player for disaster recovery.
Tried backing up with Acronis True Image 2013 to find out that Converter can't convert those TIB-s into working machines.

I would like to point out something - The solution by Joshua G is a perfect. It works, and is usable.
However, the two articles with virtual-machine resources by the Andrew Hancock is a stunning compilation of usable virtualization information for a real-life sysadmin. Phenomenal!
