Virtual Box - installation
I am currently using a Dual Boot system with one Hard Disk divided into two partitions - one with WinXP sp2 and the other with Ub9.10 with the latest upgrades.
I wish to install Virtual Box so that I can easily switch between WinXP and Ub 9.10.
I am thinking of installing Virtual Box through Ub 9.10. Can I thereafter setup Virtual Box to access WinXP or should I wipe out the existing WinXP installation and install it after Virtual Box is installed.
Is it better to wipe out all the existing programs and start with a clean hard disk. This is not much of a problem since all data is backed up onto another physical hard disk. If so are the following steps OK:-
install Ub 9.10 on a clean Hard Disk
install all upgrades through Update Manager
install Virtual Box
set up Virtual Box to run Ub 9.10
install WinXP - I am not quite sure how I am to do this whilst being booted up in Ub 9.10
if not how to install WinXP at this point.
......
set up WinXP to run under VirtualBox
ureka ....... I am thro
I've read thro the available documentation and am not much wiser.
any suggestions ?
thanks
