Installation after Windows

[Tushar Rishabadas]

If I understand correctly:
Host machine runs Windows 7
You had a VM running XP and tried to install Kubuntu over it using VirtualBox and it killed the XP install.
This is expected.
When you install Kubuntu over Win7 with VirtualBox, it won't show you the Windows 7 partition. This is expected.
You will only be shown other virtual machines.
