I also need to work with win2k (server). It's possible to install a fresh win2k os using virtual box, but there are also some ways to clone your existent vmware win2k machine. You can use Clonezilla, or Mondo, or converting .vmdk to .vdi ....or something else. Example: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/Switching_From_VMWare_To_VirtualBox:_.vmdk_To_.vdi_Using_Qemu_+_VdiTool > I suspect that VirtualBox may require a fork VirtualBox is released also in a OpenSource version: virtual box ose Of course a fork is possible, but i don't think that it's required - not for now.
