Running physical Ubuntu partition in vista host

[Wake Rider]

I would like to run my Ubuntu partition (that boots natively) in VirtualBox with a Windows Vista host. Most of the instructions I have seen deal with opening windows in linux, but I would like vice-versa. Can someone please offer advice or point me in the right direction with some urls to instructions. Thanks. :)

let me try to picture this; you have a computer with ubuntu and vista installed, and from within vista you want to run another (virtual) ubuntu that accesses the native ubuntu partition..?
