Duel boot and virtual same install

[Chrus]

I planning installing Windows 7 on a second HDD and duel booting it with Ubuntu.

Is it possible to set up a virtual machine in Ubuntu to ran that same instillation of windows 7 off the second HDD? Or am i gonna have to install windows again in the virtual system?

Cheers

As far as I know, you have to install it again. I have heard that vmware can do it (not free though).

If you use virtual box you can copy the disc image as .iso
To your second HDD then in virtual box Browse to the image on the 2nd HDD and then you can run it as virtual disc.
:D
Windows is a 32 bit graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

Of course it would be something ya gotta pay for. DAMN!
And im guessing its not cheap either.
