Is it possible?

Hi, ALL

I'm new here and new to VM.
Before starting to use it against my WinXT, I would like to know whether it is possible to boot directly from the VM, avoiding the load and long waiting (svchost.exe?) of WinXT in full extent?

I would like to have first the VM loaded and then the option for other OS Win or Chrome.
Is that possible?

Thanks for your support

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but a Virtual PC application, like any other application, requires the resources of a host OS in order to work. Even the so called "bare metal" hypervisors require a cut down host OS - and VirtualBox does not claim to be a bare metal hypervisor.
