I have XP on a partition I want to make a VDI

Post by avgvirtual »

I have XP on a partition that's genuine, up to date and has all my software set up the way I like. Is there a way to copy it and turn it into a VDI. I've made a couple VDI's from the install CD's but otherwise pretty new to VirtualBox.

Vmware convertor, if that won't boot after completion see the forum FAQ.
