Use Existing Image?

Message:

I have a new laptop running Windows XP Pro on the primary drive, and Windows
2000 on the secondary/removable drive. When I boot, I can select which drive
to boot from. I'd like to take the 2000 image and make that a virtual
machine. Is there a way to create a virtual machine, then copy the existing
2000 drive to that area?
