[Opensource] A dual boot VM question

[WEIR Andrew]

Dear all
I have a machine which dual boots Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit and Xp Sp2.
 
What i would like to do is Boot into my Xp partition directly from
within Ubuntu. Rather then reinstall an new virtual machine.
 
I tried to find things in Google last night but was not able to find
anything.
 
I have installed virtual box and KVM but can't seem to make them boot a
already existing installation.
 
The system i am running is a Dual core 1.8ghz with 2GB of ram so it
should handle the task.
 
Any assistance would be fantastic. 
 
If i can get this to work then i'd like to do it on my work laptop as
well.
 
Andrew
