Hi there,

I'm new to Linux and I prefer to use Linux over Windows but like many I need and want to be able to use Windows every once in a while.

I've set up a dualboot on my laptop with Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 and Windows 7 which is exactly what I want, but I would like to know if I can run my Windows as well via Virtualbox while I'm in Ubuntu?

The reason for this is, if it is possible, I would like to be able to take a look into Windows for some smaller projects if I have to do some little things so that I won't have to reboot and load Windows just for that.

Or, will I have to set up Windows all over again in Virtualbox letting Windows take double as much space on my harddrive if I'm gona be able to use Windows via Virtalbox?

Hope someone know the answers for this?

And btw, thank all of you people here for your support and posts.
