No need, really. It was just a booting issue.
With much help from TReKiE, we managed to fix it.
Had to convert the partition from logical to physical using GParted, then Windows would boot.
After that I had problems with drive letters, as Cookie predicted. It'd given it a new letter, so the Windows profile was broken. Had to mess around with the
registry after Windows wouldn't let me change the letter.
Somehow got there in the end.
Don't think I'll be going near partitions for a while.

Yeah I know, but that one I had was just installed in Windows, which then creates a partition for it I take it. Usually use it for recovery, so having it in VirtualBox would be no use.
