Ok,
You're boned! :-) However, humor aside this is why "I" think it won't
work.
You install to a usb drive say around 16GB ($40 at wal-mart), no big deal.
You install Sun Virtual Box are ready to VM your stuff, groovy. You get your
hard drive on the laptop copied and burned as and .img or .iso no problem
(well not entirely but details, shmetails).
You pump the image to the vm or mount the iso in the vm and pow working
system

Virtual hello to everyone :)
I have done SOME research about this and I believe it can be achieved by
"profiles".
The environment:
I am running a windoze (XP) laptop as a client of a Windomain.
I have admin access to the laptop but not to the domain.
I have to respect some seriously restrictive policies, for example: I am not
allowed to repartition the HD.
The challenge:
I want to be able to boot the laptop native in windoze, and I want to be
able to boot it from a USB drive in Linux and run the same XP machine
virtual over its native partition, all this with no noticeable modifications
to the Registry (or better NO modifications to the Registry) unless it is
something that I can bill as harmless and understandable (like a "profile").
Can it be done?
I also want the reverse, to boot windoze and run Linux virtual over its own
partition, but that one is trivial... :)
Thanks!
