Hello! I just dualbooted my laptop a couple days ago. I have many VMs and want to be able to access them from both my Ubuntu and Windows partition. (I started with Windows.) Thank you! :D

Is it virtualbox? then yes! therotically ive never dual booted. (can you see the windows drive while in Ubuntu, and vise versa?)

I think if you import a vdk/vmdk or even an export a ova file it will work crossplatform I think.
