(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok this is a tutorial on how to set up a virtual machine in vmware player

A virtual machine is like a pc inside ur pc for example: in my case im running windows xp on my computer but using vmware player I can run linux or any operating sistem u like. It does not internaly modify the hard drive and it can be ran like any windows program or app . I hope this clears up what is the use of vmware and if u hava any suggestion to improve my thread just quote me

Requirements:
1. Download and install Vmware player for ur pc You must login or register to view this content.
2. Get an .iso image of the operating sistem u want to emulate (in this tut I will be using ubuntu 10.10 You must login or register to view this content. )
3. Have at least 1.50GB free of hard drive.

Procedure:
1. Install Vmware player in ur pc
2. When installation is finished reboot ur pc
3. Start up Vmware player and hit where it says "Create new virtual image"
4. It will give u options to boot ur OS from a CD or an .iso file
5. Choose .iso and browse to ur .iso file u downloaded earlier
6. Click next and follow procedures and select ur preferences

Conclusion:

Congratz!! If u followed all the steps correctly U can now run another os inside ur windows system and dont need any hard drive modifications

**This tut was completely written by me
**Dont forget to hit thanks if the tutorial helped u
**MODS IF THIS HAS BEEN POSTED BEFORE PLZ CLOSE!!

Your thread still has some gaps for those who have never done a VM or VirtualBox.

well can u atleast help me fix those gasps bcuz ur making me look stupid lol

Can I use this to run the apple OS X Snow Leopard? If it can then I will for sure be interested in doing this.

yeah u just need to find the .iso file and follow the tut

Awesome. :y: Thanks for the Tut man. Didn't even know this sort of thing was possible, aside from programs like BootCamp for Mac.

Ok so just to clarify when using the VM it will run the second OS at the same time as Windows? Or do you choose one or the other on boot up?

yeah it runs like any windows program or app you can minimize and use windows and maximixe to use mac

ohh and remember that that os u want to run its size its 5GB+ so happy downloading lol

Haha yeah I know Snow Leopard is a pretty big beastly OS. If I end Up doing something like this I'll invest in a 1tB external drive and run it off of that, because as of now I have around 54 gigs left on my PC and I would rather not eat it all up with another OS and all the programs involved with it.

Thanks for the info and answering my questions :y:

ok m8 im just here to help and good luck with ur mac leopard OS
