Listmates,I have my Toshiba 205d laptop that came with Vista Home Premium (I have my recovery disk). What I want to do is delete the vista partition, expand my existing /home partition with gparted, then reinstall vista in virtualbox. The problem I am running into is that vista won't install as a guest on my laptop in virtualbox. I guess the recovery disk sees the vbox environment as different from the normal hardware and has some check that prevents the install. I own it, it's licensed for this laptop, I just want to install it to virtualbox instead of standalone to prevent wasting all the additional space in the vista partition that never gets used. What's the trick?
have a peek at the manual, section 9.14 Configuring the BIOS DMI information. Usually that's enough to get a OEM version to install.
