http://blog.subaquatic.net/archives/virtualbox-p2v-success/ o_O using VMware free (as in free beer) tools, why not use VirtualBox tools ?

Simple version

http://regx.dgswa.com/html/content/how-move-windows-virtualbox that shouldn't work as easily...
fdisk -l 
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/data/vm/xp.dd # change /data/vm to the actual directory
VBoxManage convertdd /data/vm/xp.dd /data/vm/xp.vdi

http://www.pjsquared.com/blog/?p=169 another method with vmconverter by VMware which should work better
