How many times do I have to say that I'm looking for a way to do this
WITHOUT messing around with my partition table?
If I waited until I was under no pressure from management to deliver code
I'd never do anything other than heads down code monkey, which in the long
term is not good either for my sanity or the business overall.
There is potential benefit to proving the use of virtual machines
successful for more than one developer in my team but management will not
give me scheduled time to investigate, so it needs to be done in a safe
way along side my normal work load.
But there are now 2 safe suggestions of things I can try in my lunch time,
thanks for those that are contributing possible solutions rather than just
implying I am silly to attempting it ;)
