P2V From Ghost Image (.gho) Without Original Hardware

ghostphysical-to-virtualvirtual-machinesvirtualization

Is there any realistic way to convert a WinXP Pro system to VMWare or VirtualBox (p2v) without the original systems hardware?

I have a ghost image (it's a .gho, unfortunately not .sv2i) of the original system, but the hardware was completely destroyed so running the standard p2v tools isn't easily possible.

Have you tried restoring the Ghost image into a VM guest? Depending on what actual drivers are displaced, there is a chance that the restored image can work with some driver replacements.
