G'day all,
I have two partitions in my PC. I have installed F10 on one partition and Windows XP on the second partition. Now, can I run the XP as guest OS on F10 using VM? and how?
Thank you.

Did you try VirtualBox?

Set up a VM, and for the disk device, select "Normal disk partition" and point to the device node that contains your Windows system. If you're not sure what that is, run:
su -c 'fdisk -l /dev/sda'
(Provide the root password at the prompt.) Look for the device that contains an NTFS file system; this is the one you'll use in your VM guest setup. I'm using KVM on F10, but I think this is fairly standard.

VirtualBox isn't part of Fedora, and it's not required to do what the OP's asking about. The virtualization that comes with Fedora works just fine.

Does this actually work? I thought Windows XP was very picky about the hardware it's on, so, at least as far as I understand it, it will complain that hardware has changed when it's run in the VM (if it boots at all).
I normally recommend separate system partitions for *real* Windows XP and *virtualized* Windows XP, but maybe my information is dated.

That being said, and the fact that the OP wasn't specific about which VM system he wanted to use, if a specific one was in mind, VirtualBox works wonderfully, so far, in my limited use, if he's interested in that option.
How to do this with VirtualBox?

When I am trying with fedora virtualization , I am getting following error:
"Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'xen:///': <class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> internal error failed to connect to xend Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 483, in _open_thread None], flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 99, in openAuth if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed') libvirtError: internal error failed to connect to xend"
How to rectify this?

To convert a Windows partition to a Virtual Machine can be done in a few ways. 1. Use VMWare's P2V converter. This will convert the data in the partition to a .VDK file. You can then import this into Virtualbox. I don't know if you can do the same with KVM (Fedora's built-in virtual machine). 2. Virtualbox has a web page on how to convert physical to virtual: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=11279&sid=b4e5df8dc43a979aec9996896693dfef

3. Convert to KVM essentially use VMWare's tool to convert to a .vmdk, and use qemu-img to import it into KVM. http://www.montanalinux.org/physical-to-virtual.html
A) I have installed VirualBox and then installed WindowsXP as guest OS. Following are my observations: 1. The information reported by windows device manager (which is running on windows partition) related to chip set, NIC, Audio device etc and the information reported by the windows device manager of windows XP which is running as guest OS are different. 2. I am not able to play audio/video files in the guset OS. (I am able to play same files in Windows XP which is running in windows partition and in F10 also). 3. Web cam is also not working in the guest OS. I have tried skype but it is also not woking.
B) Then I have tried with QEMU also and the result is same. With the QWMU the system performance is very slow.
C) I could install VM with XEN. I could not find KVM for XEN.
Windows running as a guest OS on a VM will really work like windows on a standole system? If so, how to do that?
Any help please?

This is normal, the hardware is emulated.
