Sorry if I'm jumping into this thread maybe without hitting the point at 100%, but as I read about "images" conversion and stuff, I've got to ask my question. I would like to know how I may create an image out of a Windows (let's say XP SP2) PC and be able to run it under VirtualBox. In my praxis, it would for me be nice to have the ability to run on my VirtualBox(es) the exact same PC on which I'm working, for testing purposes. Same thing I'd like to achieve with Linux clients, as far as it would be possible. I read about "vditool" and "QEmu"... how could those two things help me in achieving my goal? Many thanks in advance, Flavio. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
