Should be free. > virt-p2v is coming along nice see: http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-p2v/ It is also just about as easy to do something like: boot your physical box from a live CD install nfs-common mount an nfs server directory with enough space to store the size of your hard drive dd your hard drive to a file to the mounted nfs server directory make a xen config file that uses that image and passes the kernel and ramdisk virt-p2v works over SSH, which is also pretty nice and easy to work with. Hope those ideas help.
