To convert a Windows partition to a Virtual Machine can be done in a few 
ways.
1. Use VMWare's P2V converter. This will convert the data in the 
partition to a .VDK file. You can then import this into Virtualbox. I 
don't know if you can do the same with KVM (Fedora's built-in virtual 
machine).
2. Virtualbox has a web page on how to convert physical to virtual:
