Moving VM to Physical machine

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is any guide, tutorial or documentation that describes how to move a WinXP VM machine to a physical machine, I found only the page "How to migrate existing Windows installations to VirtualBox" on the wiki but, unfortunately, it describes the opposite process.

Do you have any idea?

Best regards,
BluMed

Any Windows image migration essentially faces the same problems, regardless of direction, indeed that's true even when there's no VM involved. The only significance to a physical->virtual (P2V) migration is that its possible to be clearer about what the target hardware can and can't do.

In addition to the wiki page you already found, you may want to use google with search terms "P2V" and "site:forums.virtualbox.org". Don't use internal search, as the latter doesn't like 3-letter words.
