Virtual instead of dual boot-win 8 - Windows 8

Hi there,

I am keeping my laptop and sisters on a dual book for windows 8 and XP, of course, separate hard drives. Is there a way to virtualize the XP hard drive and make it accessible within Windows 8 so we dont have to log to dual boot each time?

I need your serious and kind help in this. many thanks in advance.

Yes there are some virtual software, like virtualbox (freeware) and VMware (pay for that). You can use Windows XP in Windows 8. And you can use any kind of system in Windows 8.
