Rather simple: kvm -no-reboot -usb -m 512 -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda /dev/sda I installed Win XP natively using its integrated drivers, then booted it within kvm where it detected all emulated hardware, then rebootet natively and installed all specialised drivers for my notebook. I've switched between booting natively and within kvm for testing purposes the last two days and Win XP works flawlessly in either environment. I feared that the different hardware would give trouble, but apparently Win XP just installed two sets of drivers and always selects the matching ones. I just don't know how to deal with this stupid product activation. :-/ Greetings, Gunter _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
