You generally can't clone an existing Windows installation, take it to a different hardware and expect it to work reliably. As a virtual machine most probably will expose to the OS a hardware which is different from the original one (your physical hardware), the same applies for what you're trying to do. You could try if you can correct the situation by replacing the drivers since Windows seems to work at least somehow. But that would mean wiping out your existing drivers, rendering your original unusable. Even if you'd succeed somehow, be prepared to go through the Windows licensing process (Windows will detect it is running on a different hardware than the one it was licensed for) which could, depending on the kind of your license, invalidate the original one. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
