No takers? Sigh. Well this just shows why the mantra 'Just use virtualized Windows' does not cut it for replacing Windows. Once again I guess I will be disconnecting my extra drive with Ubuntu on it,...

Thank you for your help Lindsay.
Problem solved, turned out to be pretty easy to fix.
I think the main thing throwing me off was thinking the Win7 boot partition was the first (0) on hd1 but in...
SOLVED! I played with the grub boot menu when it appeared, using the handy 'e' key to edit an entry and then to <ctrl><x> to try running that entry. For the Windows 7 entry (created by editing...
Well I have grub on my ubuntu system, recovering it is not the problem. It exists (the grub bootloader), it just did not install with Windows as a dual boot option like ubuntu has ALWAYS done in the...
Grub does not see my Windows 7 during Ubuntu (or Xubuntu, tried both) 64 bit install. Thus once ubuntu is installed I do not have the option of booting into my Windows 7 operating system. I need help...
Anybody upgraded from a tri or quad core to a six or eight core and notice any change in virtualization performance? I tried virtualization with virtualbox (and vmware) with my quadcore system,...
EDIT: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop worked, not sure why it did not before. Sorry for the whining!

USB problems, can anybody toss me a bone?

Okay I backed up all the virtualbox data, I will give a try today or tomorrow change to PUEL as you suggest. I do prefer synaptic over a .deb (I did download a .deb from the Sun Virtualbox site,...
Okay yes please do keep me updated, I will keep subscribed to this thread. Do you know if people got CS2 to work using Wine? or virtualbox? other?
SOLVED: Looks like it likes .wav. I used soundconverter to make wav files form my wma and mp3 files.

Okay, so I was just about to install virtualbox PUEL to the 500 pcs in my house (I do a lot of rendering farm stuff with video)-- so do I need to pay for it? haha, just kidding!
I had the same issue (solved) with a virtual WinXP inside Linux. Once I installed the guest addition I got full screen Windows. You just press Ctrl+f to go full screen and get the high resolution...
Any tips on how not to lose my data and virtualized Windows XP that I have running smoothly in the OSE version of virtualbox on my Ubuntu 9.10 64bit system, as I want to migrate to to the PUEL...
Ditto. I tried both vmware and virtualbox and I think vmware stinks. I will not use vmware, took it off my system. I find virtualbox more elegant, better performing, and no worries about $ like...
Okay thanks for clarifying. Looks like PUEL can be free, or not, depending.
