I didn’t say anything about a virtual machine. All I said was you can’t take a hdd out of a windows machine, hook it up via usb, and boot to windows from that drive.

I didn’t mean anything towards you, I just suggesting you look into it as well cause it’s pretty nice.

@crAppAchic0

Why not? You certainly can. But- with all the nice VM-related stuff nowadays, there’s no reason to really. Just import the hard drive image into a vm environment and, voila, host a copy of your original computer in a virtual environment- without even popping out a drive.

The only bad part is that when you realize you computer/laptop is lacking on resources and hosting a vm is a little more than your machine is capable of. That sucks.

:facepalm for not thinking of vmware

Virtual Machines are deff tittys… Have an XP/Linux/Vista VM on my machine

Even have a Windows 3.1 vmware for the fuck of it :rofl

+1.

I have a Mac OSX 10 something (POS if you ask me) and Windows XP Sandbox running on my Windows 7 machine at home.

@Wayne64SS

vmware is badass, when its done properly. I manage a 150+ virtual server cluster here at work. All those machines run on 8 physical boxes and a 9terabyte SAN. Ours is dumpy though, we have the yugo of VM setups.

lol @ Yugo of VM Setups.
