VMware converter standalone is a free download:http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/



Got Yas:Insufficient permissions to connect to xxxxxxx ADMIN$ for Windows XP machine you are trying to convertrun gpedit.msc- Computer Configuration- Windows Settings- Security Settings- Local Policies- Security Option- Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts
By default XP has the Sharing and security model for local accounts set to "Guest only - local users authenticate as Guest" - this needs to be changed to "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves"
This way you can access the machine remotely with the admin account & do the conversion.
