Trying to rescue an orphaned hard drive & Vista OS

Hi,

I'm running Fusion 6 on Mavericks.

I've created a Win XP Pro vm

Is it possible to import a Vista installation from a physical hard drive that is NTFS boot? The caps on the motherboard that was running Vista fried but the drive was ok. The drive contains the boot volume and a recovery volume, but I don't have a Vista recovery cd. I have the physical(NTFS) hard drive connected to my Mac via firewire. I can access this drive from my host but can't figure out how to make it available in the XP Pro vm.

Would it be possible to set the XP Pro vm to boot from the physical NTFS drive?

Thank you in advance for any assistance..
