After 5 parts have been passed, you know how to create a virtual machine, install a new operating system, install virtual machine additions. But when you’re using a virtual machine, you may want to change configurations of the virtual machine. For instance, add new hard disk, increase RAM size of the virtual machine, configure network adapter, etc. You can change configurations in Virtual Machine Settings. Let’s see what you can do in a virtual machine’s settings. Read the rest of this entry »
After you’ve installed an operating system on the virtual machine, you would want to install Virtual Machine Additions on the virtual machine to enhance functionality on a guest operating system. The major capabilities are Read the rest of this entry »
Now you have a virtual machine which hasn’t installed any operating system yet. It like you have a new another PC but it is in the virtual machine. So this part I show how install Windows XP on the virtual machine. But I won’t include full detail of how to install Windows XP.
