In the setup just make the cd point to the image. It's all done within Virtualbox

When you create a virtual machine, it creates a .vhd file which is the machine's "hard disk". That file shows up in your Vista system as just another normal file, but as far as the virtual machine is concerned, it's a "real" hard disk.

After you uninstall Virtualbox, you will need to delete the virtual disk images - which usually live in C:\Users\<your username>\.Virtualbox\

747560 2009-02-14 01:14:00 just a quick question, when i start up virtualbox and run ubuntu it gives me the option to run it to try it out or install. am i correct to say that selecting install will install inside VB and not vista. GameJunkie (72)
