Re: Run Windows XP partition from gnome-boxes

[Alberto Ruiz <aruiz gnome org>]

Hello Nelson,

You can't do that with boxes alone, there are ways to assign a physical partition to a VM using another tool called virt-manager, however your Windows partition will not just work like that, Windows XP does not like if you change the hardware setup and it will fail to boot properly if you launch it from a VM. I would recommend you install Windows XP from scratch inside Boxes.

Hi all, this is a newbie question, I have my laptop with dual boot, Windows XP in one partition and Fedora 21 in another one, I'm 75% of my time in Fedora but from time to time I need to do some thing in Windows XP.

I would like to know if it's possible to run the Windows XP from gnome-boxes so I don't have to leave Fedora and boot again.. I tried it but couldn't find the option for that.

Regards!
