Such (proprietary) technology exists. One from Microsoft (part of Windows 7 Ultimate) and other from VMlite (called VBoot, freeware). Although they work with *.vhd images, but those compatible with VirtualBox. VMlite has a nice user community forum, so you can ask questions about VBoot there. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
