running on a machine that dual boots between Windows 7 and Ubuntu.
I need to share my home partition between a virtual machine and a real machine.
Obviously, I will access the home partition from either one machine or the
other but not both at the same time. I was trying to use virtual box because I
need to run multiple virtual machines at times. Unfortunately, due to Windows
security features, accessing the raw disk is no longer possible without jumping
through significant hoops.
According to the documentation, it looks like I should be able to access a raw
partition from co-linux and everything should be hunky-dory. Is this a good
assumption or am I living in a fantasy realm?
Can I also run multiple virtual box instances at the same time or are the two
systems mutually exclusive? reason I ask is because I need to produce
production virtual machine images using virtual box and it would be nice to be
able to run both at the same time.
Ever so grateful for your feedback.
