Hi. I downloaded Wubi today, and I love it. But the thing is, I want to constantly boot into Wubi, but I also am a Programmer, and for my Classes require the C# IDE From Windows.

So is there any way to run my already installed Windows Vista in a Virtual Box or something of the sort INSIDE of Ubuntu? This would honestly make my life alot easier.

That is the theory, yes. However I have not had a need to try running WinXP/Vista VBox guest on a Linux host.

Thanks, I'm glad it can be done.

I just don't know how. Thanks again. ^^

It can be done. Check this thread .... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=769883

I've done what you are attempting with Windows 2000 and it worked great. I never got it working with XP because of the activation issue.
