Hi all,

This is the only QEMU list, so I put my question her.
How can I copy the contents of a "*.raw" image to a real HD partition or 
vice versa.
I often use a virtual image using qemu/kvm to test some OS's and want to 
migrate them to a HD partition if the time is right. Also, I like to 
preserve old partitions for future use/reference.

Any suggestions?

Regards, Frans.
