Installing Windows 7 using Virtual Box without having a CD

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 12881 / 3 Years ago, sun, november 7, 2021, 7:41:09

I would like to create a windows 7 virtual machine on my computer, but I don't have my install disk. I currently have it installed on my computer in a dual boot with ubuntu 11.04 and was wondering if there is a way to create a virtual machine using the already installed version, without needing to procure a CD with windows 7 on it.

I am reasonably tech savy but would not consider myself an expert by any means. If this is possible, would it be very difficult, and would there be any way to make it easier?

Yes, it's possible, but it's not easy. You can check this guide in the VirtualBox Forum:

Note that this is quite offtopic and not Ubuntu related (it's a windows thing), you will be able to obtain more and better help in the Virtualbox forum or in some Windows site.
