Why VBoot Port Driver?
"WinVBlock is a free and open source Windows driver for using virtual disks."
I use WinVBlock and really work for XP, Win7 & Win8

Yep virtual box or what this means i have not had the chance to run on my machines, i only know that they exist .
I am trying my own suggestion now, have cp the iso content to the partition, because everything inside it looks like if windows is installed fresh full to a partition . The boot* files seem to tell that there is AMD and Intel differences .
FWIW : I said i opened the iso by clicking on it, but had forgotten, that this has to be implemented manually to /usr/sbin/filemnt :
Code: | elif [ "$Ext" = '4fs' ] ;then #v423 planning for the future!
Type='ext4'
elif [ "$Ext" = 'sfs' -o "$Ext" = 'squashfs' -o "$Ext" = 'sqfs' ] ;then
Type='squashfs'
elif [ "$Ext" = 'iso' ] ;then
Type=`disktype "$imgFile" | grep -m1 'file system' |awk '{print $1}' |tr '[[:upper:]]' '[[:lower:]]'`
[ "$Type" ] || Type='iso9660'
# BK |
using disktype command .

Just short : Yes it works : mounting the win .iso as loop device, copying the content onto an empty ntfs partition,
in grub swicthing to the commandline
grub> root (hd0,6)
grub> chainloader +1
grub> boot
that booted the windows files . Mouse is working, i had a menu to switch to console , but now i need help
[and a better camera, was 50bucks some years ago, now i had seen them for 15]

It's positively hostile to netbooks, my 1024x600 Dell Mini won't allow the Metro start screen to launch applications because there is a minimum screen size requirement (of 1024x768). Fortunately one can launch applications from Explorer in the old-fashioned way.
Other than that it's pretty and well polished, a pleasure to use. As it's free to use for the moment, there's no better value.
