Post by Izzy »

I have installed VB but how do I get it to run the Vista copy that is already installed on my computer? I have Windows Vista and Linux Mint install as a dual boot. I want to be able to run vista in the VB from Linux. I don't have the install disks for vista as this computer was bought with it already installed. So how would I get vista to run in VB while I am booted up in Linux. I hope I have given enough information as I am new to this. I want to be able to run programs to control my telescope while booted in linux with vista running in a VB.

This is not for the faint of heart and can be dangerous but if you put raw access site:forum.virtualbox.org in google you can read all about it.
