Installation after Windows

[Cody Edwin Smith]

installing 2 operating systems in one virtual machine is impossible, can't be done. reason being is the virtual machine is tailored for the operating system you select when you make it.

Kubuntu into the same VirtualBox to see if Kubuntu installation would 
see XP and let me adjust the settings.
