I'm not too familiar with VMs and the like so this may not even be possible.
Here is what I have:
- A real, full install of Windows 7 on hard drive A.
- A real, full install of Ubuntu 10.04 on hard drive B.
- Grub allowing me to select what I want to launch when I start up my computer.
It would be Amazing if I could do one of two things.
Within Windows 7, launch my real install of ubuntu as if it were a VM. That means i would get all the installed software, all of the files, and all of the settings.
Launch a VM copy of ubuntu 10.04 but some how make it use all of the installed software and settings from my real copy.
Thanks!
