LINUX ON USB STICK. HOW TO BOOT IN VBOX ?

Post by bubugian »

Hi all,
I usually use a usb stick with a bootable copy of ubuntu 8.04.
Could I boot it inside VBOX in WindowsXP ?

How?

Thanks!

You can't, VB does not support USB boot.

One topic was enough. I removed the other three and locked this one. Consider this as a warning. Don't crosspost, it's a waste of the already few resources we have.
