Emulating on a partition.

[andycarver]

Ok firstly, I'm new to emulation. So spare your judgement.

I have 1 question.

Is it possible to load my windows partition (which is not linked with any emulation software) using virtual box.

As I understand this is not possible as I would have to have some sort of image or vbox file on the partition. Thus 2 copies of an operating system on the one partition none of them running on sync.

Hardware iMac 21.5"
I have OSX 10.6.7 one one partition
Windows 7 enterprise on the other.

Cheers

Its possible.

But its a feature for professionial users, not for beginners. Its like driving formula 1 without drivers license.

In the tutorial section there are several howtos for this topic.

But if you would start with virtualization, then first use the standard scenario. Install a new guest in an image.
