Boot an OS when your in an OS

Hi there. I'm looking for a piece of software similar to VMWare to load Ubuntu Linux/Windows XP when I'm in Windows XP/Ubuntu. I allready have installed and configured both OS' to my content, so reinstalling one as a virtual disk file I'm afraid is not an option.

If there Is no such software, Is there software I can use to make an image file for use with VMWorkstation etc. from my harddrive partition.

Thank you for reading this thread.

P.s - It dosen't have to be free/open source

 

Thanks for that mate, I'm taking a look now to see what I can do with it.

 

Yes, this is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you very much my friend.

 

Sorry, I have misunderstood the website, this wasn't what I was looking for as it reboots your PC. I was looking for software the lets you have 2 OS's up at once.

Sorry if I wasn't clear about that.

 

You can in VMWare, but that dosen't allow you to load an OS i've installed on my drive allready. It looks like I'm gonna have to re-install ubuntu to do what I want do achieve. Nevermind.

Thanks for your help anyway.
