Howto use an already-installed xp

Post by lordmr_5ZHS4 »

Hi ya all,
straight to the problem: I'm running Debian on a lenovo r61i, kernel 2.6.26-1-686, I'm just trying to force VB to use an already installed xp version on a partition on the disk.

This is my fstab
/dev/sda2 / ext3
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2
/dev/sda6 none swap
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf
/dev/sda3 /zozzone ntfs <-- Win XP

How can i do this?
