Win XP on HD, new hd w Linux, howto setup WinXP from L host

Post by phm01 »

Have Win XP 32 on existing HD. Installed new HD w Ubuntu Linux. Want to install virtualbox on Linux host & be able to run the Win XP 32 as vm from Linux and to sometimes choose to boot directly to the Win XP 32 HD (i.e., no virtualization). How do I have to set up the vitrualbox install and configuration to do this?

My PC has Intel hardware virtualization and I turned it on.
