Yes it probably could (it supports raw disk files so I see no reason it could not). Of course you do have to prepare the windows system with the right device drivers for running on a new system, although that usually isn't too hard. The mergeide.reg seems to cover the main problem. kvm also support USB device pass through as far as I can tell. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
