From virtualbox to "normal" installation

Hi.
I'm using a virtualbox guest with a custom version of ubuntu server (is called "quickstart", dedicated to drupal).
I want to "move" the ubuntu server in the virtual box guest to a "normal" installation of ubuntu.
Is it possible?

And is it possibile to install a os, like ubuntu, from an image disk (vdi)?

No, you'll need to install the OS from scratch using ISOs - You can refer to the hosted version for configuration settings etc. that you might need when re-configuring it. And of course, you can copy over any mySQL databases from the hosted to the installed version, for example.

The installed version will need to be installed from scratch because it'll be running on specific hardware with requirements for drivers etc. to be installed, other than the virtualised environment provided by VB.
