Virtual Technology is a requirement to run XP Mode in Windows 7 it doesn't
mean that you can't run other operating systems on virtual machine software.
I don't use VirtualBox but many beta testers have installed Windows 7 on
virtual software such as VMware Workstation; in fact I have just started an
installation of Windows 7 myself in VMware Workstation to check to see if it
works and the installation is progressing fine for me. (and my
processor/motherboard does support virtual technology either.)

What problems are you actually experiencing. Perhaps if we had more
information someone could point you in the right direction.

Windows cannot boot from a USB drive. If you installed it on an
internal hard drive, you should be able to dual-boot. If any of the
Virtualisation products require that the cpu has VT, then you're not
going to be able to use them. Microsoft's Virtual PC can't run any 64
bit guests. VMWare Workstation can run 64 bit guests provided that the
cpu is 64 bit capable.

Windows 7 (or Windows Vista for that matter) will not install to a removable
USB drive. I believe you can install to an eSATA removable drive, but not a
standard USB removable drive.

If I have time i'll download Virtualbox and see if I can install Windows 7.
I take it you are using the DVD to try to install to Virtualbox and 'not'
the ghost copy? If you are using the ghost copy that is probably the cause
of your problem.

Crodino,

I've only just realized that I don't have a 64 Bit version of Windows 7
downloaded; however, I have downloaded Virtualbox and have installed the 32
Bit version of Windows 7. Installation went without a hitch. This was
installing Windows 7 RC1 from the DVD that I have.

Crodino,

As I pointed out in my first post VT technology is only applicable to XP
Mode in Windows 7 and, as this is a separate download for Windows 7 it has
nothing to do with the issue. So what you are saying is that Windows 7 32
Bit 'will' install on Virtual Box but the 64 Bit version of Windows 7 'will
not'?

I have read posts where people have said that Virtualbox doesn't support
Windows 7, built we have both installed Windows 7 on Virtualbox so that is
somewhat of a myth. Virtualbox is also 32 Bit and 64 Bit compliant so I'm
puzzled as to why the 64 Bit version will not install, it certainly hasn't
anything to do with your processor not having VT technology.

Let me download the 64 Bit version from myself and try installing it on
Virtualbox and see what happens. Incidentally my machine also does not
support VT.

As was pointed out, you will need a system that has VT enabled and accessible to run the virtualized WindowsXP inside of WIndows7. That being said, you should be able to run Windows 7 RC inside a VM just fine, provided the VM thinks it is installed on a set drive and not a removable one. You can also get Windows 7 to boot from a .VHD file if you aren't hosting it in a virtual machine (VMware, VirtualBox, VirtualPC, etc). Beyond that, make sure the version you are installing matches whatever limitations your Virtualization software has. If you still have issues getting it installed or working, try posting on the official Windows 7 RC Support Forum located here:
http://tinyurl.com/9fhdl5
It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. They are pretty quick to answer questions, and many questions already have answers and fixes if you poke around a bit.

Except we don't KNOW what was "pointed out" because you didn't quote
anything.
Please QUOTE at least the relevant parts of the post you are replying to as
