Even I want to but that is not possible I myself do not have a VT
machine asked one friend to give me his laptop and he has Windows 7 on
one single partition which is coming these days pre installed on
Laptops and he does not want to partition the drive and install/format
etc.
If you can guide me I will try to do this give me links so that I read
and do my home work what ever time it will take I will invest.

You mean to say I install Xen in a Linux distribution in Virtual box
and then create Guest OS inside that there I can play with Xen.
If that is possible that is a good suggestion.Let me know if I
understood you correctly.
