Oh no, I've been called Nancy again! ;-( You should be able to boot natively if you do not install Guest Additions (which is hard to do accidentally). This point is outlined in the tutorial.
I have tested this in XP and Vista with no ill side-effects. However, do take notice that switching back and forth between native and virtual booting will require you to constantly reactivate you XP installation. If done too often, worse-case scenario is that you'll have to call the activation number. I've gotten to that point with my XP "testbed" installation, and now I've go the number in my cell's phonebook ;-) -- nothing more than a minor hassle really. great how-to. Thnaks Nancy. After this process, will I only be able to use XP from VMbox (I think). I have been looking for a way to use XP both natively and in VMbox without buying an extra license. maybe that's mot possible?
