Before you start playing with this, duplicate your hardware profile
in Windows. You will probably need one profile when you boot Windows
directly, and one when you boot it in a virtual machine.
I have not used Virtual Machine Manager, but you can read about how
to do it with VirtualBox in:

Be sure to make good backups and head the warnings. This is for
"expert users only" according to the manual. It used to be possible
from VMWare, but I have not tried it in a while, so I do not know if
it is currently supported.
