The virt-p2v project is your friend; http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v/

Be aware that you CANNOT have a windows partition that does both
bare-metal booting and virtual booting without risking having to
re-register your machine at practically every boot - Windows is highly
sensitive to hardware changes, and the change between bare metal and
virtual is significant.
