What if I wipe out my linux box, reinstall on original physical hardware on a limited size partition. Will I be able to start virtual box from this partition ? In the end linux should be my main platform and WinXP be run in virtualbox. Just out of curiosity is this documented somewhere, I did not find any mention of this any where, thanks !
