Using Boot Camp with VirtualBox?

[Jesus I]

Hi, Is it posible to run the Windows partition bootcamp created, with VirtualBox? so instead of running Windows on VirtualBox with a virtual partition, it does directly with my physical partition?

Actually, it is possible in Linux and Windows, but in the manual there are no instructions for Mac, but it might be posible.

If not, does Parallels or VMWare can?

Greetings.

Oh, and does Parallels is free? I do know VMWare isn't.

Thanks.

Parallels is NOT free either, only Virtual Box
