Two (more) challenges I have pit myself against (last one has nearly beat me ..)
Summary : My first intention was to run Ubuntu as a server and have since set it up on old hardware . However since using Ubuntu, I decided I want to keep it for desktop use as-well , while keeping server features . Though as I'm using old hardware , I am wanting to tinker ( see below)
1st Hurdle : So to achieve this, could I simply take the HDD from the excising 'old' hardware/rig into my High-End Windows rig ? Hypothetically I would like to dual boot and use Linux and windows 50:50 but wait , there added features I'd like .
2nd Hurdle : Assuming a dual boot feature would work,even with a new install(If I must) , could I use Virtual software while using window to Boot the Ubuntu 12.10 Installation ? This would save time re-booting and loading back into Ubuntu
Am I asking too much , would this be difficult , would I need a fresh Install of Ubuntu , would the virtual desktop load the excising Ubuntu installation ?
