Aye, you can use VMware server or VMware workstation. However, it doesn't do to well with with USB Ports etc. Windows will still take control, as it does.

I want to be able to look at hard drives etc and recover data from them but no install tons of crap on my Windows system with regards Windows picking up a new hardware device and then installing the drivers.

VMware workstation will work just fine tbh...not sure if that's what you meant Laney.

Get Vmware Server and run it as a virtual machine? Ran fine for me on Vista.
