Its almost the same as the above except:

Boot the physical machine from the CD of Ubuntu desktop and the VM from the Ubuntu ISO

MAKE SURE THE VM IS BRIDGED

Open a terminal window
enter the following
sudo passwd root
enter a password (u can use password as it isnt saved after a reboot)
and retype

enter superuser
su
and use the password you just created

On the VM box type
nc -l 10000 | dd of=/dev/sda

On the physical machine type
dd conv=noerror if=/dev/sda | nc IPA.DDR.ESS.??? 10000

and that will copy it over the network
