because it's not plain image file.

What I did was boot the hyper-V guest with system rescue CD
(http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page), use dd and send it via ssh to
dom0. This should work for physical servers as well.

After you get the disk image, creating a HVM domU config file is a
trivial matter. You can copy it from exisiting domU with minor
modification.
