My disaster recovery backups restored flawlessly into Virtual Box. The way I migrate a virtual machine is ising CloneZilla.. I Clone the disk image to my network storage. I fired up Virtual Box on my hackintosh, created my virtual machine profile, used my clonezilla disk as the iso to boot, restore to my virtual machine drive.. Linux works right away. Windows 7 works no audio. No problem though just download the AC97 drivers from Realtech (that's what's emulated) and boom.. audio! I am presently doing a P2V of my development Linux system. Once this is done I'm going wipe out the storge it was on and create another mac volume and migrate my vms there.

 

I am really liking this. This Quad Core is pretty quick! And the Insanely Mac forums plus all the hard work done by the contributors of the code that made this all possible made my job a lot easier.

I can't believe how stable this box is! I tested with my m-audio keyboard with garageband, I created a HD DVD from iMove and Toast 9.

 

The only problem I've encountered with virtualization on macos is that when you enable internet sharing it's not true bridging... I'm gonna find tap, install that and see if that works better.

Well, lucky you :) I never managed to get an instalation to reach the end no matter how much I liked VirtualBox and how many chances I gave it.

VMWare did a little better but in the end (and when reboots came into play) it borked too, so I ended up using a pre-made image and I'm better off.
