| Apr 14, 2012 at 18:06 | comment | added | cutrightjm | I'm confused.. First, you want to run Ubuntu as a VM, correct? By booting both, you mean that you want to boot the Ubuntu VM in virtual box? And this Windows partition is an external hard drive, or an internal? | |
| Apr 14, 2012 at 17:50 | comment | added | Xeoncross | I'm wondering if this might be related. | |
