To some earlier questions in this thread:

The free version of VirtualBox can use USB devices though I think you have to install the Guest additions.

You can convert your physical install to a virtual machine:

and for VMware:

I installed the vmware converter on my Windows partition and found that it converts the entire disk...I stopped at that point because all I wanted is the Windows partition (60 GB) and not the entire 750 GB disk with Windows and Debian. Is there a way to use the converter just for the Windows partition?
