Nice to know a standalone solution for VirtualBox. My only problem is, that the Windows asks for activation when booted as virtual machine. Do you know a solution to this?

Do you know a solution to this?

The Virtual hard disc file is just a reference file, not an entire image of the harddisk, you can understand that by looking at the size of the file itself. So if you install a software in xp when you are directly using it, it will be reflected when you are using xp as a guest via Virtual Box. Also if you install any software when using via Virtual box, will be reflected when using it directly. How you understood. Thank u.

But, will the virtual machine then update if I boot up in windows properly (rebooting the machine and selecting windows off grub) and change something/install a program? Thanks, Gaz Thanks, Ive been looking for how to do this.
