No Partition

Post by gledger »

After setting up Virtual Box and a partition, I am not seeing the partition when I am trying to load Windows 7 into a partition. Have I actually created a partition?

Can you provide more information on what you did? If you created one on the Host, that's not going to work. You have to create a VDI file and attach that to the VM.

I down loaded Virtualbox and then just ran the program. I am running on Windows Vista Ultimate.

Just running it won't cut it. Check the VirtualBox FAQ for more information on virtualization. Also read the User Manual.
