virtual box & actual harddisk!!?

[digitalage]

i use virtual box in vista.
installed fedora 9 in that.
can i use my actual hard disk.. in the virtual version of OS.

I didnt get your Question.
But lets see if this answers it:
When you create a Virtual HDD, the fedora files are installed on it.
This Virtual HDD file will be with some .vdi or something extention.
It will occupy the same amount of space that you might have specified when configuring the Virtual HDD.
Thus, VirtualBox uses your actual HDD to make a .vdi file which acts as your partition on your fedora 9.
I hope this is clear

It is possible.

Go to tutorails page. Third link should be helpful.

I had done it in some other way following a tut on this page. I am not able to find that page as of now. It is mentioned in help I guess.
