To Install Virtual Box/VMware Workstation with different flavours of Linux or Windows OS on top of
windows7 or 8 .
PROCEDURE:
Install Ubuntu as the guest operating system from an ISO image file. To create a new virtual machine
click on the New button in the Virtual Box Manager GUI window.
Give the VM a name and make sure that the operating system and version are Linux and Ubuntu,
respectively. Click Next.
Next, you must specify a virtual hard disk for your VM. There are multiple ways in which Virtual Box
can provide hard disk space to a VM, but the most common way is to use a large image file on your
real hard disk, whose contents Virtual Box presents to your VM as if it were a complete hard disk.
This file represents an entire hard disk then, so you can even copy it to another host and use it with
another Virtual Box installation:
In this example we will be using dynamic disks, but fixed disks will work just as well:
When the VM creation thingy goes away, press Ctrl + s to open your VM settings.
Next, click Storage in the left pane and click the CD icon in the right pane to browse for the Ubuntu
ISO you downloaded in the first steps.
After a few seconds the Ubuntu welcome window happily shoots on the screen ready to install
Ubuntu.
Choose the language as needed; and this one will be the default (once installed) throughout the
system.
3. At this point, choose the installation type and the first screenshot is an automated process, even
if you have an operating system already installed, the installer will auto-detect it and allow you
partition the drive in the next screen with simple sliders that will auto-allocate your assigned space
for the Ubuntu partition.
4. Prompt to confirm that you want the changes to be made to your internal drive; click continue to
move onto the next screen.
6. Configure as needed — depending on your type of keyboard and default input language.
7. This is where you enter your user details and clicks continue to proceed to the next screen .
8. Right up next, is the beginning of installation which (depending on your PC hardware), can take a
long or short time.
9. At this point, the installation is complete and now, you may restart your PC.
10. Once you’ve restarted, you are now greeted with the login screen where you input your
password.
RESULT:
Thus, the Virtual Box/VMware Workstation with different flavors of Linux or Windows OS has
been successfully installed.
