Vista, Lubuntu

Hi,

I have Vista installed on my machine, but it does not run due to insufficient memory.

I have a live Lubuntu pendrive and am thinking of installing this OS to the hard-drive.

I am worried about partitioning in the event of deciding to remove Lubuntu and the affect on booting Vista (should I upgrade the memory).

So, at present, I only have Lubuntu as a live pendrive as a working OS.

Is it possible to use Virtualbox to run Lubuntu from the disk and protect the bootloader of Vista and Vista itself.

Thanks

How are you planning to install VirtualBox? VirtualBox is just an application, not an operating system. If your primary OS will not boot, you cannot install VirtualBox.
