virtualbox>physical partition vista>activation

[anystupidname]

Hi all,

I currently have a laptop that dual boots Hardy and Vista SP1. I own a Vista license but got screwed because I wiped the computer I bought that came with it and Dell refused to provide me with recovery discs. So the Vista install is cracked. I rarely use Vista at all. My question is, if I follow one of these tutorials to make the Vista physical partition available in VirtualBox, will it screw up my cracked activation??
