Hi,
I have a netbook running Windows XP Home, and am going to partition the HDD and install Jaunty. I would like to be able to run Windows XP Home as a virtual machine. However, all the tutorials for VMs that I know of say to install the VM software, then use it to install the OS to be run as a VM. I don't want to have to reinstall my OEM version of XP, and so I was wondering if there was a way of taking an OS installed on a drive, and running that as a VM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
