Windows 7 runing in Virtualbox on Warp 4.5.2 / eComstation 2.r6

You can't install W7 from DVD, it will boot, later in install
it will tell you, "can't find drivers"

I have make a workaround for this. Install W7 in a Virtualbox
on a XP pc, install adds on. Install in Virtualbox
Acronis True Image v.10, (maybe other HD copy programs work?)

Make a HD total copy to Cd (not DVD) in my case 4 Cd.
Make Acronis bootable cd, Make all Cd to ISO files.

Open Virtualbox in OS/2  eComstation, make a disk on 20 GB
Boot from Acronis boot ISO, restore 5 ISO, Acronis
ask for number. After all 4 Cd, reboot.  Working.

Remember in Virtualbox on Warp4 / eComstation no Cd/DVD, no printer,
no USB, no sound, only Cd ISO, Floppy ISO, and net

internet i working well here.

Why go to all that trouble when you can simply mount the DVD ISO and use that as if were a normal DVD?
