I have two computers, but the old one is not working well. So I'd like to install the old hard disk on the new computer. I know how to do this and I know how to access the data from sdb. But I have some old programs installed on sdb which I'm not able to install them again on sda. So, I'd like to know if it is possible to use some virtual machine (I have installed VM on sda) to boot from sdb so that I'd be able to use my old programs whenever I need.I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on both disks. Thanks.
