glent Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I thinks it depend wether you have disabled windows file proetction or not. Why not install in vmware and find out for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poster Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 i may try if you tell me what vmware is? i have not disabled windows file protection yet but i will do that at the end when i cut the version of the junk components. nlite can do it, can't it? the problem is that i have only one partition with windows installed and i don't want to install another one yet. so what is vmware?

poster Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 let me see if i got the whole virtual machine thing. i downloaded virtual pc 2004. so it creates a virtual machine - i see this. it's hard disk is in a file on my hard drive. if i install something through the virtual pc it installs in that file and does not affect my system at all. is that right?

ZileXa Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 you can install V. pc additions, while your virtual windows is running, press the first menu, you can select it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazard_abio Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Virtual PC, is hardware dependant - meaning that, if you have low resources, or not that much ram (512mb) it'll run a little slow. Hell, I have a P4 3.0 with 512mb and an SATA Raid 0 config, it runs pretty fast, but with Virtual PC, I'm lagging up a storm. And Yes it'll install Linux, you just have to select it when creating the Virtual Machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikgale Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Use VMWare if you can get your hands on it, it's much faster that VPC2004 IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender341 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I agree, i found VMware to be nearly twice as fast on my computer (i benchmarked how long it took to install windows. on VMware it took about 35 min., while on Virtual PC it took about an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
