Hi, I recently installed windows 7 on my laptop, on a separate partition, making it dual boot. Now, I would like to boot into this installation without having to reboot. A casual google shows me that one can in fact boot off an existing physical partition using any of the commonly available virtualization tools on linux -- qemu, VirtualBox& VMPlayer. So my question is, has anyone tried doing this and what were your experiences if you did ? I am not averse to the idea of simply reinstalling windows 7 in a 'proper' virtual environment, but just curious whether reusing the existing installation is easily doable. I would be using the windows installation just to test portability of code that i write. I don't really need to boot into it often, neither do i expect it to be lightning fast. cheers, - steve
