I have hit one. I installed Linux Linux Ubuntu 64 on a separated physical drive and I have another physical drive with Windows XP professional edition. Virtual Server would not run the windows OS because it not for the AMD64 CPU... Sure, it's code written for intel. Then, how do I virtualize my windows from a 64 bits OS and a 64 bit Virtual Server ??? regards, BT Hi,

I have vmware server installed, followed the above instructions to the letter, and it seems to be making an attempt at loading up windows, but grub stops with Error 17. In my infinite-number-of-monkeys troubleshooting way, I added a second disk (the Use a Physical Disk option) in case it needed the linux disk for one reason or another, but the error persisted (I have since removed it from the .vmx file because it didn't help at all). Any suggestions would be appreciated - my google search wasn't very fruitful. I’ve got WinXP Pro on a SATA drive (/dev/sda), then I reclaimed an IDE drive and installed Ubuntu on it (/dev/sdb).

You can install VirtualBox on Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, and OpenSolaris hosts. Plus VirtualBox is free. See <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/" rel="nofollow">Innotek VirtualBox</a> for more information.
