Best way of virtulising?
Hi
What I would like is to have 2 separate partitions (Ubuntu/XP) which I can boot into each separately, but also visualise the XP partition when booted in Ubuntu. Is this possible? What do you think is the best way of doing it? (+Is it possible to dynamically re-size these partitions once set?) Thanks! |

Besides, a simple change in the disk ordering is enough to break windows horribly. I know no easy way to overcome these problems. At most, you might have some degree of luck sharing the data partition. For example, you can create a separate partition for the "Documments and settings" stuff, that way your user configs and documents could be on a separate partition that could be accessed from the two separate windows installations (one in the disk, one in the vm). It's the only approach that I know that *should* work. |
Yea thats pretty much what I thought. Thanks anyway! :)

I dont think its possible to dual boot and virtualize the same OS correct me if I am wrong. Some alternatives:
1: you could just use ubuntu and virtualize xp ;) 2: you can dual boot and mount the NTFS partition in your Ubuntu (you should now be able to mount RW NTFS these days) 3: Use wine! |
Hi,
You can virtual host either XP with GNU/Linux client or Host the GNU/Linux with a XP As a client. The 'VirtualBox HOWTO' would be a good place to start. |
