Using WHS (windows home server) through virtual pc?

by paradimes . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

What I’d like to do is to use Windows Home Server through the same PC I use Win 7 on, but in this config if possible.

Main pc is win 7, after boot, open up virtual pc and run windows home server to watch movies on the tv via hdmi from a new video card I’m looking at.

What I’d like to know is that if this is even possible. The board can run 10 sata drives, though I’m only using 1 for win 7 now, leaving 9 for my library etc…

The video card will simply have two dvi for each monitor and a 100′ hdmi to the tv so that we can watch movies whenever–

Can I run two OS’s in this capacity and accomplish what I want? I don’t want another nas type, but to use the existing tower that I have and occupy what sata space I can use. The i7 processesor can handle it, that’s not an issue. The remainder of the sata, via whs will be used in a raid fashion, likely 8tb protected, eg 4x2tb on raid1 or 8 2tb drives.
