    Does Parallels have tools to convert a single file which contains an ext3 partition's contents into a working VM?

    We host a variety of systems on Xen, and I'd like to be able to take them on the road using Parallels. Is it possible to convert the file-based images we use to a Parallels VM?

    By "file-based image", I mean a system which I've set up in Linux by doing the following (roughly speaking).

    This is the bare system setup - it would be trivial to replicate the above steps in Parallels of course, but what I want to convert are the working systems which we use day-to-day, not a bare install.

    Even better would be if there's some way to run the resulting image unmodified :)

    But I know that might be asking too much. Still, I can hope ...
