Virtual Machines

What kind of processor do you have werewolf? If its a cheap-o cpu with just a high clock speed then 2 VM's running are actually quite good.

I've got a Pentium 4.

Although i am getting the new quad core yes the new quad core by intel, $1000 of pure power

Awesome dude!

It seems as though that microsoft Virtual PC takes less power to emulate it then much else.

---

I'll check that out sometime. I'm sure that when I was looking through the various VM's I came across that before but my habit of avoiding Microsoft products whenever possible must've deterred me.

I have the same habit but it was recommended by a friend so i knew it must not be total crap.

Some questions

-Which is better, VM Workstation 5.5 or Virtual PC 2007? I don't know which one to choose :(
-If I wanna auto minimized, do I install VMTools? Are there any problems with it?

Thanks

P.S Will be running TinyXP on host and VM along with 2GB of RAM and a E6300...hope it's enough

Well tarajunky told me that Virtual PC is crap for autoing(that was a later version though so don't know about now). And I do know that tara uses Workstation, but a lot of people use VMWare Server and it works fine.

And yes you should install VMTools right after you get your OS set up on the VM. It won't affect anything if you want to auto minimized.

And your computer is plenty good enough to run a VM. Maybe even about 3 VM's if you use Windows 98 on them.

TinyXP, here I come!

Nevermind, I need a small OS that will run well under 256MB RAM (1GB on my actual comp) and will run SCAR.

Virtual PC 2006 was horrible when I tried it. VMWare with VMTools installed is great. I can actually auto on 2 instances of the VM on my new machine and still use it for surfing and stuff. I use Win98 SE for my OS.

can someone help me get an iso for vista premium plz

Can someone help me get an ISO for Windows 98 ? I tried a torrent but i cant find the .iso thing...

You need to download both and then extract. Either one of em. 1 or 2. It will extract both, no matter which one you choose to extract. :)

If needed...

That's it...too bad none of them are available. =\

Its ok i found a torrent. I already dled a torrent but couldnt find the iso lol i found it though... it looked like a rar file... but VMWare says its an iso and its working fine so far...

EDIT: while installing it tells your bout windows 98 new features... its so funny how there like "OMG! BACK BUTTONS!"

"For XP, I used my disc. For a Win98 SE install I got an ISO. "

where would i get and ISO a vm...and does it have to be the same as the compu use it on?

I don't really understand what you are trying to say Dan. Are you asking does the virtual machines OS have to be the same as the hosts OS? No it does not. It can be any OS's.


If anyone needs a link to a torrent of an .iso of an OS PM me and i will get you one.

My computer cant handle this probably but nice guide!

Post your computer specs, and me or someone else will tell you if it will be able to handle it or not :)

Pentium 3. 750mb RAM.

I can run simple scripts on both at the same time. Double power mining is sorta useful.

Aje, i really don't think your right. I think i remember the top speed ever produced for a Pentium 3 processor was like 1.13ghz. Now even if you do have that speed, i think you might be able to run a VERY simple script on each but nothing complicated. I am actually surprised that you can run a VM.

I'm not totally sure but on my old AMD at 1.2ghz it can't run a VM at all.

I am haveing a problem withing booting the VM, It will load but gets an error 'Can't find CD to Boot'. What does this meen and how do I corect it? I have instaled It corectly but the Tut just ends, leaving out how to get it to boot up, this might just be my problem but if you could help that would be great:D
Thanks

You need to install an OS on the VM. Wether it be an ISO or from an actual disk.

What is an ISO and how do I make/find it? thanks for the help sp far :D
~Stupedspam

ISO=Illegal "copy"?

As for getting one, I won't give you any links cause thats how I got my worm :(.

Lol
-Dunceiam

Umm PM Me or add me on msn. Its up by my post count, i have plenty of links without viruses, or i will just create my own torrent for you.

Oh, an .iso is all the data off a disc and if you run it in an emulator program your computer thinks there is actually a disc drive with that disc in it even though its the .iso file.
Dunno if you got that but i will find a better way to explain it in a minute.

EDIT: good ol' wikipedia to the rescue on explaining .iso's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image

Hmm i set up vmware and made a virtual machine and installed windows 98 SE on it, but it wont find my main computer on the network, any ideas?

If I may, I'd totally recommend using Microsoft Virtual PC. It works like a charm :). It's lag-free for me. ISO's are easy to load in. Setting it up is way easier and basic than VMWare.

The hardest thing is creating the virtual hard drive, and all that is, is saying how much you want to be on there (Remember, 1000MB = 1 GB) and where to save it :)

VMWare owns Virtual PC. The newest version of Workstation 6 even has paravirtualisation from within the kernel of the os (linux or windows). This means that the VM has direct access to the processor and the RAM, increasing performance heavily and reducing lag. And in VMWare, you only have to click next a couple of times to create a VM. Only at the network tab you have to select NAT.

Min specs for a VM: P4 2.0 ghz 256mb ram. Give the guest os 64mb ram and you should be fine. Tested this with VMWare and it works like a charm :), only some lag because of the bad specs of the host pc.

VMWare for me lags like CRAZY and VMWare Tools is a pain in the ass to install on TinyXP.

just wondering...can you auto on the virtual and use the normal for surfing web, homework, etc.?

edit: might as well try to answer a question when i ask one

if you have a .iso downloaded and have no idea what to do with it try the following:
1. burn it and then run the cd/dvd, there are many good free burning softwares (google it)
2. better way: mount it on a virtual drive with daemon tools (google it). this program make the computer think that the .iso is actually a cd/dvd in your cd/dvd drive so you can run it that way (its also a lot faster than burning)!!!

What else would it be good for? :)

im surprised that this method is not more well known, when i asked the same question on sythe they told me it was impossible. it seems to be simple enough with a little bit of patience and a decent system.

Looking at porn on your VM. As long as you have virus protection and all that crap :D

Lol what would you expect from sythe? Now I'm not saying there aren't any very knowledgeable, good people on sythe, because there is. Just most aren't...

This is cool, I need to set up my TV (32" <3) to a dual screen to my 19" :)
First I need to install stuff and things though.

just wondering what operating systems you can use with runescape? i am using windows which takes a lot of memory so i can't really do anything else anyway.

where do i get an iso for 98?

Look for one on a torrent site, or on here or moparisthebest. I got mine from a link in a tut on moparisthebest, and I know there are some links to Win98 ISO's in this thread.
