Booting into already installed os virtually

Post by krajcsovszkig »

Hello,

I have two operating systems installed on different partitions of my harddrive: an Ubuntu 10.04 x64 and a Windows 7 pro x64.
My question is, is it possible to boot into my linux from under my windows with virtualbox? If yes, how, and will I be able to boot into it physically afterwards?

Thanks.

Yes, its possible.

Look into the Manual howto make a raw device accessable vor a VBOX Guest.
