Is anyone aware of a guide for moving Windows to a Virtualbox running under FreeBSD?
I want to do this on a ThinkPad X220 which has 8GB ram and is running Windows 7 on a 256GB mSata disk.
Here are the steps I think I need to perform...
1. Backup the disk using Clonezilla
2. Delete as much as I can from the current Windows installation
3. Backup the disk using Clonezilla again (in case I've deleted too much)
4. Shrink the current Windows partition as much as possible.
5. Create a Windows VHD (or whatever I need to load Windows in a Virtualbox)
6. Install FreeBSD on the mSata disk
7. Install all the required pkgs in FreeBSD
8. Run Virtualbox
9. Setup Vitualbox to run Windows
I'm a bit hazy about the specifics of some of these tasks, but have I missed anything out?
Any comments would be appreciated.
