Create a free virtual PC

Windows users may prefer to use VMWare for Virtual PC, but this is free of charge. Now, VMWare has released a free virtual OS player VMWare Player, which can be installed after a virtual hard disk is created.

First, necessary software:
1. VMWare Player.
: Http://www.vmware.com/download/player
2. qemu on Windows
: Http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp /~ Qemu-Win/index-ja.html

Next, install the two software. qemu on Windows is the green software. Unzip the software and use it.

First, use qemu-img.exe in the qemu directory to create a virtual PC hard disk.
X:/> qemu-IMG create-F vmdk C:/OS/Fedora. vmdk 8g

Then configure the Virtual PC and specify the memory and some installation devices. The configuration example is as follows:

Config. Version = "8"
Virtualhw. Version = "4"
Memsize = "256"
Ide0: 0. Present = "true"
Ide0: 0. filename = "fedora. vmdk"
Ide1: 0. Present = "true"
Ide1: 0. filename = "Auto Detect"
Ide1: 0. devicetype = "CDROM-raw"
Floppy0.present = "false"
Ethernet0.present = "true"
Ethernet0.connectiontype = "Nat"
USB. Present = "true"
Sound. Present = "true"
Sound. virtualdev = "es1371"
Displayname = "fedora"
Guestos = "other24xlinux"
NVRAM = "fedora. NVRAM"
Scsi0: 0. Redo = ""
Ethernet0.addresstype = "generated"
UUID. Location = "56 4D F3 A5 03 8C CB b9-ed BB 8f 10 A3 de B0 10"
Ide1: 0. autodetect = "true"
Ethernet0.generatedaddress = "00: 0C: 29: de: B0: 10"
Ethernet0.generatedaddressoffset = "0"
Checkpoint. vmstate = ""
Tools. remindinstall = "true"
Ide0: 0. Redo = ""

Some items must be set according to your actual situation.
For example, is using an image file, rather than the actual CD-ROM, then you can put the two sentences

Ide1: 0. filename = "Auto Detect"
Ide1: 0. devicetype = "CDROM-raw"

Changed:

Ide1: 0. filename = "D:/OS/Fedora. ISO"
Ide1: 0. devicetype = "CDROM-image"

Save this file as fedora. vmx in the same path as the generated virtual hard disk.

In this way, you can double-click fedora. vmx to start VMWare Player for installation. (Note the following boot sequence. you can press the F2 key after starting VMWare Player)
