Part 1 of 3įor the post not to be too long, I decided to split it into three parts:
#MAKE VIRTUAL OPTICAL DISK FILE HOW TO#
To demonstrate how to do that, I’m going to use the Kamarada Linux distribution, which you get on the Download page.
#MAKE VIRTUAL OPTICAL DISK FILE INSTALL#
Today we are going to see how to install VirtualBox on Windows, create a virtual machine and boot a Linux live image on it. 20 apps you can use the same way on both Linux and Windows - part 2.We already talked a little about VirtualBox in another post: It can be installed on your PC, whether you use Windows, macOS, Linux or Solaris, and it supports a large number of guest operating systems, including, but not limited to: Windows (3.x, 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Server 2008, Server 2012 and Server 2016), DOS, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x and 4.x), Solaris, OpenSolaris, OS/2 and OpenBSD.
#MAKE VIRTUAL OPTICAL DISK FILE SOFTWARE#
VirtualBox is a free and open-source cross-platform virtualization software developed by Oracle. And put simply, VirtualBox is a software that provides you an user-friendly way to do virtualization using your personal computer. This technology is called virtualization. The operating system of the real machine is called host operating system ( host OS): it hosts the virtual machine, whose operating system is called guest operating system ( guest OS). For example, you can use both Windows and Linux at the same time. In practice, that means you can use multiple OSes at the same time. Your computer (which is a physical machine and is, in contrast, called a real machine) can run many virtual machines at the same time (as long as the needed amounts of RAM and disk space are available). The operating system (OS) installed on a virtual machine “believes” it is installed on a “real” computer. It provides similar functionality to a physical machine, so that you can install operating systems and apps on it. But actually that “window”, technically speaking, is a virtual machine (often abbreviated as VM): it is an emulated computer created by software. It is even handier than a LiveDVD/USB, because to use live media you need to reboot.īy “window”, I meant to simplify it, so that you could have a picture of how it looks like. That is handy because you can have your first contact with Linux without actually installing it.
Remove the VCD and try creating it again. A broken icon ( ) indicates that the VCD creation failed.A syncing icon ( ) indicates that the VCD is still being created.You can determine the status of a VCD by checking the State column on the Virtual CDs page: The Virtual CD Creation Wizard reports that the VCD has been successfully added, but transferring the image may take several more minutes depending on the size of the image.
#MAKE VIRTUAL OPTICAL DISK FILE ISO#
Click Finish to upload or copy the ISO file from the specified source.If you selected Upload ISO file, click Next and select the ISO file to upload.Copy CD ISO from network source copies the file from a Web URL.
