linux on /dev/sda5, want to boot rawdisk win7 VM from sda1

Post by jimmyjones »

Is this possible to do?
I get blue screen when win7 booting, can't see what it says cos it reboots so quick. VBox should have a configurable delay between shutdown and reboot outside of the normal win7 reboot on error settings.

Thanks.

Really? Have you looked at the users manual under troubleshooting?
