Hello, Doug. No, you have to create a virtual filesystem for the gust OS. Some people have created a virtual filesystem for running a pre-installed Windows XP under Virtualbox, using the copy of Windows already installed on their hard disk, but you can't actually use the hard disk - You have to copy it to a virtual disk on the host OS that is accessible to the guest OS. Virtual box is pretty good BTW, and I recommend giving it a try! I use it to run M$ Word, so I can edit the M$ formatted documents EXACTLY the way our admin want them :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( Bye, Tony. -- Dr. A.J.Travis, University of Aberdeen, Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health, Greenburn Road, Bucksburn, Aberdeen AB21 9SB, Scotland, UK tel +44(0)1224 712751, fax +44(0)1224 716687, http://www.rowett.ac.uk mailto:a.tra...@abdn.ac.uk, http://bioinformatics.rri.sari.ac.uk/~ajt -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
