    Howdy You-Ubuntu-Forumers,

    I have a Virtual Machine built in WindowsXP (Dual Boot PC) on Sun VirtualBox 3+.

    The Virtual Build is Windows Server 2008 (Standard).
    It's a *.vdi File !

    If I install Sun VirtualBox on Ubuntu 9.04; can it run my Windows Built virtual machine (Windows Server 2008 Standard.vdi) as it exist on a NTFS formatted partition ?

    Thanks 4 any / all Help !!!

    BVR

    I would think so... try it and see. The vdi file is in NTFS so all should be okay. Whe I create a Windows VM it is with an NTFS and it runs under Ubuntu Linux.

    Yes, it will work. You have to put it in the correct folder.
