Hello,

I currently have my computer configured in a dual boot configuration with Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP. Is it possible to install VMware on Ubuntu and have it boot my NTFS XP partition that is a part of my dual boot configuration? (Instead of installing a fresh copy of XP on a partition for VMware).

If not, I have the original XP recovery disks that came with my computer. Can these be used to install a VM copy of XP on my computer, or would I need to buy a new copy of XP?

Thanks,
igfud
