In the past I've always created the VM on the same drive w/o major issues. However I have several machines that are dual boot (linux on one drive WinXP on the other) & have hesitated to try using those machines to test using the 2nd drive as the VM. I've now aquired 2 recycled test machines that have WinXP drives on them & now would like to give this a try.
Environment: - test machine - 40Gb sda WinXPPro - 40Gb sdb linux (Ubuntu 9.04) - Dual-boot works w/o issue What I'd like to do is create a WinXPPro VirtualBox VM on the linux drive (sdb), and rather than do it on the same drive, have it use the WinXPPro installed on sda. I'm quite familiar with running Win2KPro guests from the same linux drive & not afraid of RTFM. But older instructions from the web/forums, etc, new docs, new versions of VirtualBox have me a little confused on how to go about this. Note: I'm not worried about screwing up the test machine installs - I currently have two of these machines to test with & can easily dd the WinXP drive to a spare. So I would appreciate if someone can point me to some relatively simple instructions on how I can go about this. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
