Abstract
Platform software is installed onto a native hardware platform (NHWP) containing a hard disk drive. That hard disk drive is formatted and structured as the NHWP would expect to use it to boot and run. However, the structure of that hard disk is converted to a drive image file (compressed or uncompressed) that can be loaded into a Virtual Machine Environment (VME). By mounting the drive image (or a partition of a drive image), the VME can use the partition as if it were a device rather than a file.
