Hello,
I've used most visualization products and am looking to replicate a feature I found in VM Fusion on my daughter's MacBook. I had an XP Partition and an OSX partition and used rEFit to choose the boot partition. From OSX I could open the real live XP Partition inside of Fusion. I'd like to replicate this with my Win7/Ubuntu9/BackTrack4 box. It has the horsepower to keep them all going. I am not particular which is the host OS...I'd probably prefer Ubuntu if I had to choose.
My questions: Can VB do this? If so, how do I point it at the existing partition to mount/load as a VM? If not, any suggestions for another product that will allow me to do it? I don't particularly care if I am live in Ubuntu or live in Win7....
Thanks in advance. If there is a quick link, or this style of mounting a VM is called something, please let me know!
