moving from KVM to Hyper-V

I have two existing VMs, the file image is the qcow2 format supported by KVM
on linux.

I'd like to move these 2 machines to my new shiny Hyper-V platform. How
might I convert these images to something Hyper-V can use?

Thanks much,
Blake

for those of you interested, here was my work around

1) use qemu-img to convert the qcow2 images to vmdk
2) use vmdk2vhd utility from vmtoolkit.com to convert to vhd
3) boot the new image into Hyper-V and perform a repair from the original
media (my vhd files would blue screen on boot due to a driver problem, I'm
guessing)

After repair the VM would boot OK under Hyper-V
