Retaining guest system on new install.

Post by welshmike »

I have VirtualBox 3.2.12 installed on Ubuntu 10.4 and a Windows XP system installed as a guest.
When attempting to install VirtualBox 4.0.4 the following message occurred:
Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'virtualbox-3.2'.
I am considering removing 3.2.12 so that 4.0.4 will install..
I want to retain the Windows XP guest. Will removing 3.2.12 also remove the Windows XP guest?

Please will the team advise?
