I recently took a networking class and successfully installed Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Fedora 13 and Ubuntu 10.04. All without issues. I was using Kubuntu 10.10 as the host. Which version of VB are you using? Version 4 has made a lot of changes that make it easier to use and to backup and export VMs. If you post the settings you are using for your VM, I will happily try to copy them on my machine and see if I run into any issues.
