I am trying to install Vista into VBox from recovery disks.
The disks require I have two partitions. It installs vista in the second partition.
Can I do that in virtualbox?
If so how?

Hello,
It is just like making partitions on a normal computer, I have not dealt with Vista, so I don't know what options does it give to you in regards to partitioning..
I suggest you boot the virtual machine from a bootable cd which has some partitioning utility on it like partition magic or GParted and create the needed partitions..
(Ubuntu live CD should have GParted on it as I remember, but you can simply run the live cd, download GParted and run it from there)

Hope this helps.

I never thought about Gparted

Thanks I will give that a shot.
