3.1 Convert the disk.raw file to a VMDK

Objective: Use qemu-img to convert the raw disk extracted from the XVA file in our working directory to a vmdk file for the ability to import in VMWare.

Step 1. Navigate to a location that you would like to work from. In my scenario, I am working from my user's home directory in a folder name 'XVA VMs'
