So, once I get the newer version installed, how do I get my XP machine loaded? To be more specific, I would like the XP machine as it is now so that I do not lose a specific app which I will be unable to replace. I created two folders on my external hd and synced "/usr/lib/virtualbox" to one and "/usr/share/virtualbox" to the other. One of the two syncs had an error msg. which I didn't bother to read in my ADD-prone nature. OK, so will I, most likely anyway, be able to move these directories to my new VBox or am I completely off base here?

Thanks, Scott. I guess we'll wait to see if anyone else replies. Meanwhile I think I'll try that on my Ubu computer and see what happens.
