Hi,

I search some feedback on Windows Seven 64 bits as native guest.

Here the tutorial I follow (for who want to do the same thing):
http://www.rajatarya.com/technical/tami ... tualbox-vm

Here my configuration:
PC : Dell E6400 Dual Core (intel VT-x technology)
HOST 1 : Gentoo 64 bits with VirtualBox 3.08
HOST 2 : Windows Seven 64 bits

I try to boot in VM the HOST 2 from the HOST 1.
So, I have create a rawdisk with this command : VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename win7.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda -partitions 1,2 -mbr vm.mbr -relative -register.
When I start the VM, I obtain a Blue Screen. It's seems to be normal because of the material change between the real and the virtual. So, I decided to boot on Seven DVD and repair it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't help me to avoid the Blue Screen. I have try all choice on F8 Menu unsuccessfully.

After 2 weeks of research, I'm opened to all suggestions.

So, I respond to my own topic because I have found the problem.
My Dell E6400 is configured in IRRT technology on BIOS for disk management.
Unfortunately, VirtualBox doesn't seemed to be able to use this technology.
The solution is to change in AHCI or ATA in BIOS and to reinstall the native windows.

Now, I search information on Windows Activation.
The activation in native mode and virtual mode works.
But if I change from native to virtual or from virtual to native, I have to redo activation. (c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ota)
I search a legal way to Active windows seven definitively.

I have found some information about 2 files :
tokens.dat - C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
pkeyconfig.xrm-ms - C:\Windows\System32\spp\tokens\pkeyconfig
It seems that this 2 files represent the Serial and Activation mode.
I have try to change my MAC address too.
For information I don't manage 2 different material profil, perhaps its the only way to avoid reactivation.

Anybody has information ?
