You will need to have a win7 32bit iso in order to use win 7 inside
virtualbox running on top of Suse 32bit.

Actually... no. You can install a 64 bit guest on a 32 bit host,
provided you meet the 3 prerequisites. See the documentation here:
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#intro-64bitguests

That said, there is little to no benefit to installing a 64 bit
Windows guest anyway (for almost all use cases), so Eberhard's comment
is still good advice :-)

Well I like a challenge and don't usually give up. Especially with all you great people helping me. Do I actually burn a DVD with a 32 bit win 7 iso or follow your instructions about putting it in /home/benjie1/.virtualbox from the 8th one on the list you told me about . Ready to do either one now. And then I guess I can open VBox. In the box where it says operating system and below that the version. Is that the guest or host names that go there. My guess is it is guest. Things seem to be going well. Thanks Bob
