You'll find there will be a bit of swirling of colours while it's installing into a vpc,it'll pass so let it continue,there will also be 1 error message popup,can't remember what it said just clik it to continue & all should work out fine,the only real issue i had was getting the ethernet to work & that was fixed by left clikcing "wired network"

Can you install Ubuntu Linux 9.10 as a VM on Win 7? I’ve tried the Live CD but it comes up with a blank screen after the initial main menu…need help here…thanks.

hi,
i have installed ubuntu 8.04 inside windows,
While installing i allocated 5 gb, now for doing project i need to download packages, i have already downloaded allmost all the packages but the problem is the entire 5 gb is consumed and its saying no space on device while i tried to download new packages,
So how can i allocate more space to ubuntu, infact i have space in the drive but how can i allocate it to ubuntu?
or how can i retrieve the packages i have downloaded in case if its not possible to allocate more space so i can reinstall ubuntu with more space and install these packages directly without downloading them .

Good point , but some conflicts can appear . i prefer to use only one operating system.

Hi there.

I have just installed 9.04 onto a WIndows 7 host using the latest Virtual PC.

Although the installer (sort of) managed to get past the graphics problems without help, I found that the mouse would not work. So I looked for a solution on the web.

After looking at theis post, I followed the directions given here although they are for an older version. Anyway, they worked fine, and now I can run my Ubuntu alongside XP et al, so thanks for this post.

Regards,
DaveT

It will be absolutely fine to install on your new machine. Just download/install windows virtual pc 2007 and as above, follow the steps. Probably worth allocating the virtual RAM atleast 1GB.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for a nice guide to install Linux inside Windows.

By the way I am a big fan of Linpus linux and gOS I tried to install both of them using Virtual PC but it ends up saying Unknown Processor Error ! this error msg appears just after the boot from the iso (image file).

Can you recomend something? My laptop is running XP SP2, its Sony Vaio VGN-SR19XN, with 2 GB RAM and 160 GB HD, and Core 2 Duo P8400 @ 2.26 GHz

thanks for the help,

Regards,

Ashish
