Boot raw disk inside VMware?

Live View is a Java-based graphical forensics tool that creates a VMware virtual machine out of a raw (dd-style) disk image or physical disk.

LiveView, which is still in it's beta cycles, lets you boot an image or physical disk inside a virtualized VMware Server session, but without tampering with the image or disk. It writes changes to a scratch file, and to be 100% sure that changes are made it can even boot a write protected image.

Very interesting, and an extremely good idea and if used correctly it'll end up as an excellent P2V tool as well.
