Run Hyper V Virtual Image or Virtual Machine using Oracle VirtualBox in Windows 7

When you have created a virtual image or virtual machine in Hyper-V using Windows Server 2008 R2, and you want to run it in your laptop which runs Windows 7 or Windows Vista, Oracle VirtualBox is your solution. You won't be able to run Hyper-V image in Windows Virtual PC. It will give you some weird errors and you won't be able to turn it on. Hyper-V virtual image or virtual machine will not/ won't run on Windows 7's Windows Virtual PC.

I found this good article which explains step by step on installing, configuring and booting up Hyper-V image in Oracle VirtualBox. It saved my life.

My Hyper-V VM image finally booted up nicely in VirtualBox in my Windows 7 machine.
