Install former partition image to virtual partition?
Posted: 14. Jul 2009, 05:00
Hello, I am new to VirtualBox, having made a full transition into Ubuntu Linux, and I have a question that may or may not have been addressed at one time, but I was unable to find any references to my topic after a quick search. I want to delete my windows partition and go completely Linux while running XP through VirtualBox for a few programs. I was in the habit of making 'ghost' images of my partitions using Drive Image XML and Clonezilla. I was wondering if it is possible to install one of my partition images onto the virtual hdd, or must I make a fresh install of the Windows OS. I would prefer to use the partition images I made because they are preconfigured to my liking, and a fresh install would be a pain. Is this possible? If so, how would one go about doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
