Ever considered to install W XP as a VM on linux?
I was successful with both of them (XP and 7) installed on VirtualBox
in Linux.

I rarely use Windows on my dual-boot Fedora-20/KDE laptop,

I found when I did this on a CentOS machine
I was unable to get back to Linux,
and had to re-install CentOS.
I don't understand why, as I had saved and re-installed the MBR.
Am I wrong in thinking that this should be sufficient?
If not, what else do I need to save?
I don't intend to make any partition changes.
All suggestions and advice gratefully received.
I hope this is not considered hijacking the thread, but, a couple of
questions:
1. Where can I find instructions on how to do this?
2. If I do, is XP still subject to viruses like it was when it stood alone?
2a: If so, can Windows malware-killers be downloaded and used?
3. Can this XP-on-VM still access the internet, for Google and downloads?
(i.e., see q. 2a.)
4. If you download a Windows program from XP-on-VM, how do you run it?
Been around Linux for some time, but never tried any VM except dosbox,
which was a hassle.
