[tlug] VirtualBox: One Last Question

[CL <az.4tlug@example.com>]

After several tries at creating new VirtualBoxes for XP, starting with 
virgin installs and moving on to moving data, I have one more goal which 
is to install a complete WIN XP HDD in my Linux box.  I have one Root 
partition which is a Primary Partition, then I have an Extended 
Partition with eight additional partitions.

The part I understand is that I have to copy the Root partition, 
reformat it so that VBox sees it, and then replace the contents.  I have 
done this successfully several times with single partition install tests.

The part I do not understand is whether I also have to create a VBox 
Extended Partition with eight more partitions again for the VBox PC to 
see it or whether having the Root run in VBox is enough.  Alternatively, 
should I set the Extended Partitions as shared folders?  I can already 
see the contents of the Extended Partition in Kubuntu as I have the NTFS 
viewer running.
