Virtual OS Image

Hi,
Is it at all possible to create an iso (or backup) of a virtual pc to then use it as a proper OS on a real computer.

If so how do i go about doing that

Thanks,
Matt

Also, please note that a virtual machine is just as "real" as a physical
machine as far as the software (both OS and apps) running on is concerned.
99% of the time, software has no idea that it's running on a virtual machine
as opposed to a physical machine - it has no need to know this...

Ignore anything on that site.

Firstly, Acronis True Image and Norton Ghost are not shareware.

Secondly, Acronis True Image is designed to back up a computer and restore
onto the same computer, e.g. in the event of a catastrophic system failure
etc. It is not designed to transfer one computer onto another. For that, you
need Acronis Universal Restore, as previously explained...
