How to add virtIO driver for existed Windows XP image?

Hi all,
I have an image (VMWare - vmdk) of Windows XP on which some core softwares has been installed. These softwares are licensed and I cannot install them by myself. Now I want to move from VMWare to Openstack (provided by third party), so I want to install the VirtIO driver. My solution is:
- Install the virtIO driver on the existed image.
- Convert it into the raw format.
- Deploy the image on Openstack. I think it will detect the driver automatically.
I have the trouble at the first step. How can I do that? Anyone please help me. Thank you in advance!

You can integrate drivers into XP using nLite
