I think VMware will do that, I just had a browse on their site and it seems
to indicate that if you have a drive with another OS on, you can add it as a
Virtual Machine and run it..

I don't know if that's right but it seems like it to me..?

Hmmm, I am not sure if this is what I am looking for.
I basically want a virtual PC that can access a Linux
installation on an existing hard disk.

Can VMWare or Bochs do this?
