You could always leave your Winxp installation on your HD, install Ubuntu and run your winxp (from your HD, not an image) via vmware/Ubuntu.
This site explains howto do it: http://www.linux-mag.com/id/4150/ Shane. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Sent: Tuesday, 16 October 2007 11:22 AM To: SLUG list Subject: [SLUG] Moving o/s' around Hi list, I'd like to change my os of choice to Ubuntu again (long story) but retain the Winxp setup that I have by running it as a VMware image on Ubuntu. This would seem to be possible using a live linux CD, create an iso file of a Winxp installation/partition on another hard drive and then load it once Ubuntu has been installed. I'm long on concept but short on howto. Am I talking out of my hat? TIA.
