I have bootable iso images of fedora, opensuse, xp and vista. I want to install them on HDD(not virtually) without burning on the disc. Is there any way out ?
I am on Hardy right now.

I think, u can convert ur Virtual Disk Image/Drive to actual OS. (Read something similar about Mac on PC).

Search for converting Virtual Disk Image to Actual. This is one way...

As explained by blackpearl in this thread (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38585), the installation can be started by loading the kernel and initram images via grub

Note: The tutorial is given for older versions of Fedor and OpenSUSE
