How can I create a Virtual Harddrive off an existing installation?

I have a working Windows Server 2003 (Small Business Edition) and I'd like to create a virtual machine of this installation. I'm planning to use MS Virtual Server. How can I get this done?
If 2008 is an option, it's possible to create a VM of this server while it's up and running using Windows 2008 Server (the Hyper V role is the upgrade/replacement to MS Virtual Server) and System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
The Virtual Server 2005 Migration Toolkit should allow you to do this. It is designed to assist in moving from a physical to a virtual machine.
