If you are still thinking about how to install dual-system, it is better to install a virtual machine and then install the system you want to install on the virtual machine. If you want to play a game but are worried about a system crash, you can install the game on a virtual machine to reduce the trouble. If you want to learn about linux, I think it is a good choice to install linux on a virtual machine. -- Well, I installed virtual machines in this context. VMware is a virtual PC software that virtualizes a new hardware environment on the current operating system. It is equivalent to simulating a new PC, in this way, two independent operating systems are actually running on one machine at the same time. We can install various operating systems on virtual machines, such as Windowx and Linux.

Below are my notes on installing VMware-workstation and linux CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.
Preparations before installation
To ensure that the software installation can be completed smoothly and avoid errors caused by different software versions, I will release all the software to be installed and download it by myself.
Virtual Machine Software: VMware-workstation-full-9.0.0-812388.exe
: Http://w3note.com/read/138.html
Linux image file: CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso

Tip: The above software download is generally normal, but sometimes Baidu network disk will automatically cancel the sharing link, if this happens, as long as you send a message to the blog, I will recreate the download link.

Next, name the VM
Cent05-5.5 (unique here if multiple virtual systems are installed to avoid obfuscation)
D: \ Cent05-5.5 (mirror File Installation Directory, if you need backup, copy it directly)
Next, specify the disk capacity. Here, the default space is 20 GB. If your hard disk is large, you can set it to a greater value.
Next, we will display the preceding installation information. If you want to modify the information, you can reset it here. Click Finish if there is no problem.
The virtual system enters the installer, which is the same as installing a Cent05-5.5 on a computer, no difference. During the automatic installation process, a dialog box is displayed, asking if you want to check the integrity of the image file. Select OK or Skip. Select Skip here.
