I'm using VMware and want to create a virtual machine with Windows XP. For this I want to use the Windows XP-installation of another computer, I don't have the cd, so I want to create a iso/image (or whatever) of this Windows-installation. How can I do this?

Don't forget, Windows XP is no longer supported, it's past time to move on. – user9517 May 18 '14 at 10:25

Sure. But I only want to test some issues for a application only working with Windows XP. – waanders May 18 '14 at 10:45

You only need to use Vmware Converter (http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/) to create an image so you can use it on other Vmware Platforms (vSphere, Workstation,...).
There are a lot of guides on the net about how to use the software. This one may help you:

Thanks a lot. I try to download VMware Converter but I'm asked to create an account and fill in name, organization, phone number and so on. It's only for private use. Suggestions? – waanders May 18 '14 at 10:40

Just register with a private account. You can use that account later to test new Vmware products. – Trinue May 18 '14 at 10:56

You should find the download link under License & download. You need to have logged in into your account to get the download link. – Trinue May 19 '14 at 11:30
