Virtual environment for XP x64: VMware Server (Free)!

[johnhc]

I have installed and run VMware Server (Free) on my XP x64 machine and installed an nLited XP x64 system on a virtual machine. The install took about 15 minutes. I had been using QEMU (No accelerator available for x64) and it required 1.5 hours minimum.

VMware Server is easy to use but probably does not provide all the functions some may need. It is perfect for my testing of nLited discs and it is very fast!

Only certain processors are supported but VMware has utilities to determine if the processor is eligible:

Enjoy, John.
