I'm wondering if it's possible to create an image of a Windows (7 for example) recovery partition, add it as a Virtual Box VM and start the installation from there just as you'd do in the real PC (in the other partition of the disk).
And a second question, is it legal?
Has someone already done this?
Products like Paragon Hard Disk Manager can make P2V (physical2virtual) migration, letting you create a VM of a partition.

I'm trying to create a bootable disk from an ISO that is bootable. I should be able to just burn this and it will boot a machine with no OS, correct?
are you trying to create bootable win7/8 installer?
If yes, get UltraISO and then openup your ISO with that program, then goto bootable->Write disk image, after that you will be able to bootup your flashdrive

Hi im looking for a solaris simulating windows terminal to execute some environment specific scripts i have. Any help?
I don't believe anything like that exists. Your best option is probably a Solaris VM. You can download one and VirtualBox from Oracle.
Here is a blog entry that discusses use of the VM

Which Windows 7 file(s) are critical for booting?
In other words, what is the shortest way to irreversibly dismantle a Windows 7 instance via a batch script, assuming we have root privileges?
I googled a bit, but I found ambiguous information.
*I'm asking this out of curiousity - not to do evil deeds.
The thing about booting files is that all of them can easily be restored. If you want to irreveribly degrade Windows about the only thing you can do is destroy the registry files. See this link for the location of the registry archives.

I use RDP to connect to a server, and I leave it connected while I work, but it always keeps disconnecting me - I have other servers that don't do this... is there a setting somewhere that I need to set? What is this setting?
This is probably best suited for ServerFault, but I would check the RDP Idle disconnect and other timers. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754272.

I was puzzled seeing this. My vmware virtual machine was running and I was monitoring the size of the virtual disk file. The size of the file kept increasing but 'last modified' date remained unchanged. How is this possible? Confused.
My host OS is windows vista and guest (which I guess doesn't matter) is Linux.
My guess is that the last modified date doesn't actually get changed until the file is closed.
