After I image my laptop running win 7, then I image it using clonezilla. How can I restore the image to a virtual BOX? (want to clone my host onto my guest)?
Considering the virtualbox is still blank / brand new.

(I dont have win 7 iso file)

The purpose is to avoid the time consuming work to install win 7 on the guest.

thanks

Clone the host hard disk using Disk2VHD, not CloneZilla. I would suggest that you then convert the resulting VHD to VDI since the latter is more reliable, then build a VM around the existing VDI.

And bear in mind that the Win7 guest will need to be reactivated, and if that works then you'll no longer be able to use it as the host OS.
