Usually, the appropriate USB driver is automatically downloaded from the Internet.

In practice, on a 'real' machine, people may experience a few difficulties when they plug in these USB devices. This software works in combination with USB hardware like USB printers and USB barcode readers. I've noticed it includes a 'VirtualBox USB Support' (I unchecked it) which made me ask myself a few questions.ДЄ colleague suggested we could use virtual machines (Vista, 7, 8.1.) to test our software including its installation. So, I have started a 'VirtualBox' installation for the first time. These are beginner questions so please be sympathetic.

If you are concerned about all the VMs having the same SID in Windows then use sysprep just prior to cloning it, when the new OS boots it will go through the Windows mini setup and you can apply a new name and allow it to generate a new SID.

The image can be compressed and only represents the data portion of the drive, whereas just a copy of a VDI is the FULL size of the disk and may be difficult to look into from another OS.Д«eing that you are simply cloning the same VM over and over it may be more piratical just to clone the disk using VMWare or another tool like the cloneVDI tool and leave the Ghost for just backups. This is helpful in restoring or extracting individual files or folders. The advantage is that you have a full backup of the disk, which is accessible via Ghost Explorer to any running Windows environment. Making a PE OS isn't hard but there is a bit of a learning curve. I personally do it this way, only I use the older Ghost stand alone within a Windows PE (Winbuilder) ISO.

If it lacks proper NIC drivers to load or write an image to a network resource you can use another disk image created just to hold the Ghost image, simply mount it to each VM - remember only ONE VM should have it at one time. It's been a long time since I've used the Solution Sweet, so I can't remember much about it. Mpack is right, if it runs on a physical it will run on a virtual, just save (or make) an ISO of the boot disk somewhere, mount it in the VMs CD/DVD drive and peck F12 when booting to activate the VBox boot menu, choose CDROM and the ISO will boot.
