I was going to attempt the method shown here for bypassing activation, but lost the will
I've also got to study for finals - so whoever wants to try it, be my guest =P

Focus on how it can be rather than how it could've been.
This doesn't work for me, I have two problems:
1- the Grub image created is not booting and the grub installed on my ubuntu partition (the original grub) is trying to boot. Because I created my vmdk without the ubuntu's partition parameter, this brings a grub error 17, so I created a vmdk with my linux partition, then my /boot/grub/menu.lst boots (I reconise the parameters)... But I don't like this option.
2- even when i try to boot on vista with the original menu.lst, vista says that it can't boot, probably because of a recent hardware change...
I think that I can fix the 2nd problem by removing boot tasks on vista, but I have no idea about my first problem.
Thank you for your answers.

So for my first post here. My vista is on it's own hard drive not on sda but sdb and i can not get grub to load it. also could only create passthru by sudo the command. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I get this error when following the steps in the first post. Part of the screenshot also shows the basic settings of the Vista VM...
My total memory is 2048MB, but 256MB is taken by the ATI 1250 graphics chip. The processor is 1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo, and the OS is Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) 64-bit. Vista is 32-bit Home Premium. It's a Samsung R60+ Laptop, Vista is on /dev/sda1, with a data drive (mounted on Ubuntu aswell) on /dev/sda2.
It firstly comes up with a black screen, and when I send a shutdown signal, it comes up with this BSOD
thanks in advance

bump help.
Upon doing these instructions, I get past the GRUB and I recieved an: Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS.
Help please?
There is another boot menu inside the Vista Partition. Yes, I unmounted Vista, too.
I'm running Windows Vista with 2746 MB of RAM (I have 4GB)
and with 32 MB Video Memory (I could do a maximum of 128MB)
VirtualBox is 64 bit, I believe, Ubuntu is 64 bit, and my Vista is 64 bit.

Bump. Please.
I am not quite sure if my virtualbox is 64 bit, all I did was install VB from the Add/Remove programs.
