You can definitely install enough drivers so that both bare-metal and virtual will boot. But what you cannot do is prevent the pci bus from changing - the bare-metal boot WILL see different hardware than the virtual boot, and windows is picky enough that it WILL require re-registration every time the hardware changes that drastically. There's no way around it. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
