Running a native install of windows xp and a native install of Ubuntu

[David Suna]

I have a Windows XP box that I would like to also run Ubuntu on.  I have 
tried running Ubuntu as a guest OS using VirtualBox but I have problems 
with enabling 3D acceleration in the guest OS (it hangs on login).


If I was starting from scratch I could try to run the XP as the guest OS 
but I need to be able to run the XP as it is and not reinstall it from 
scratch.


Does anyone know how I can do this?


Alternatively, if anyone knows how I can troubleshoot the hang in the 
Ubuntu guest so I can get Ubuntu running with 3D acceleration that would 
be great.


Thanks,
