Are you saying you are running Vista in VB on a “raw” partition? And no problems?
No. I would like to do that because I can’t seem to get the lenovo vista recovery disks to Install in vbox.
I have W2K and now win7 running as guests on a Linux host. I just had to set up a share to the vista part to try and install some software.
It is my understanding though that you can run a guest off of a physical part, but the margin for error is slim. If you don ‘t set it up right you can blow your parts away and lose data. I haven’t had the time or spare machine to experiment with that yet.
