jalaffa Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 <img src="http://nsanedown.com/images/logos/VBox.png" class="logo" alt="VirtualBox" title="VirtualBox" />VirtualBox is an application installed on an existing host operating system; within this application, additional operating systems can be loaded and run, each with its own virtual environment. For example, several Linux distributions can be hosted on a single machine running Windows XP; likewise, XP and Vista can run on a machine running Linux, and so on.

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 11, 2010 Administrator Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think I'm going to have to use VirtualBox 3.2.10 with Ubuntu or Kubuntu 10.10Nice. :DI have both Ubuntu and Kubuntu installed in VB, so I'll just update the 10.4 to 10.10 the OS's update feature (I believe that it should have something like that). :PEDIT: cFosSpeed driver giving BSODs when trying to install the latest VB. Going back the previous VB and will have to install cFos again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Uhm you actually download it.. but I wouldn't g that route.. its crap and no matter what you do the Windows XP Mode will not activate.. unless you hack it.. Just use VB and install what you want..LOLI didn't get BSOD on install but I haven't run my VM's either.. USB access caused a problem on mine like two versions ago.. but I didn't try after that either.. system freezes too.. Might have had something to do with using the ones where I have the VDI's at...

BillyBootlace Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I used to have all sorts of trouble with VirtualBox and USB's until I found this tutorial ...This example is with WinXP as the host and Ubuntu as the guest.Will work with any OS combinations.1) In VirtualBox Settings, you have to add an empty filter - NB: no filter is not the same as an empty filter.2) Run VirtualBox/Ubuntu3) Plug in a USB and a Windows wizard comes up.4) Let WinXP search for a driver for the 'VirtualBox USB' - it finds it locally without any help.5) Let it install it.6) Take out the USB.7) Restart Ubuntu by shutting it down internally and starting it with VirtualBox.8) Insert the USB - Presto ! - The disk icon appears.

ROMANTICGUY50 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I think I'm going to have to use VirtualBox 3.2.10 with Ubuntu or Kubuntu 10.10I downloaded Ubuntu on my Xp home without virtual box. I tried to download it before and had problems. They told be my computer was not a virtual machine so last night I downloaded Ubuntu on my computer and it started giving me problems I asked a tech friend and he said I never should have downloaded it on my computer in the first place. he said to delete the parttitions for the operating system... He did not tell me the rest of it. I have had to reformat my hard drive and am getting error messages which suck about that can not be found on thee recovery disk I have to use the CD for the D Partition and when running the CD that is when I m getting the error messages that certain files can not be found a. Does any one have any suggestions what I can do...I use Freezzetime I believe thee name of the program was before. I do not know if I would have had any problems if I would have had any problems removing the OP systems if I would have run i in this program....Thanks Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Well first off.. there is absolutely NO reason why you cannot download Linux onto your system.. BUT this would lead me to believe that you are having Hard Drive problems.. or you have bad sectors on your discs.. It also could mean you have formatted your drive in a FAT file system.. which would be odd as I think XP requires you install to NTFS for file security purposes.. if it is indeed FAT it still should not be a problem as the ISO image should be under the 4GB file size limitation which is with FAT file systems ( or should be anyway ) unless you have installed Linux into a VM.. and you have exceed that size with the VHD... To be honest, I would use Hirens Boot CD to check your HD for errors and problems and take steps from there.. Like pulling all of your personal files off.. wiping the drive and repartitioning.. then re-installing your OS.. but there should not be any issues unless you are not going about it properly..It would probably be better to post a new topic.. and tell in detail step by step what you did, how you did it.. and precisely what errors and problems occurred.. then it will be easier to help you out..
