I have a couple old programs which only run on windows xp. I have a macbook bootcamped with windows 7 and mountain lion. I'd like to avoid booting into windows 7 unless absolutely necessary, but if I do I'd like to share the virtual image with os x. Can I take the disk image from windows xp mode and install it to virtual box for windows with the procedures shown in the link below, and then move that virtual image onto a shared partition so it could be installed in virtual box for mac os x and shared with both the mac and windows versions of virtual box?
