=VMware Support=
While VirtualBox should be able to open <code>.vmdk</code> images, if your version is unable you may need or want toconvert the formats on the command line. Also, you can crack open VMware images with <code>dd</code>and loop-mount the partitions individually. See the [[VMware#Cracking_Open_VMDK_Images_with_DD|VMware article]] for instructions.
=Converting a Raw ImageFlat VMDK=
To convert a raw image to a virtual desktop image, you just need to run the <code>VBoxManage convertfromraw</code> command.
