[SOLVED] Boot physical Hard Drive Image

Hello

I have googled this and searched this forum, but couldn't find the answer.

My machine has two harddrives, one with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the other with Windows 7 x64.

I would like to be able to run Virtual Box on my Windows harddrive and use it to run the Linux install on the other. This is because sometimes I need to use Windows, but would also like to still be able to use the Linux install as well. I do also boot into the Linux install at times too.

Is this possible?

Thank you very much for your help,

Richard Hughes

It's in the VirtualBox manual
Read the warnings carefully. Since this is for expert users only it is not for everyone.

VBoxSDL is currently primarily used internally for debugging VirtualBox and therefore not officially supported
I am confused. Will anyone explain this part of the manual for me?

I could. If you could explain why on earth you posted a question about VBoxSDL in a topic that has absolutely nothing to do with VBoxSDL.
