Currently I have windows xp installed on my laptop with one large partition.
I know how to partition the drive and install Ubuntu with a dual boot configuration.
What I want to do though is install Ubuntu, boot to it, and then load my current windows install as a virtual OS with VMware or something similar.
I believe that this is only possible with workstation and not with server but am unsure. Also I was thinking in Windows I should create two hardware profiles. One for booting directly to windows, and one for running windows virtually in Ubuntu.
Has anybody here tried this? Are there any issues I should be aware of?
Thanks
