I followed those indications before creating a vmdk with vmware=20 converter, then I converted the vmdk in a raw image with "qemu-img=20 convert" and finally doing a dd in the drbd device done the trick! Still remains the fact that doing P2V with Win2k is some kind of wild=20 horse (for example if you use the vmvga video driver it freezes), but=20 you give me a big hand.
