Run Virtual PC inside a VM

Post by mlchris2 »

I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on my HOST. I am running VirtualBox 3.0.10 and built a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit GUEST VM. I want to test Windows XP Mode/Virtual PC on the Win7 guest pc, but cant... apparently you cant run a VM inside a VM.

Does anyone have experience working around this?

As you have stated you can not run a virtualizer in a virtualizer.
