Re: Virtual machines, ISO's, and disk cloning Just curious, what's the difference between fusion and player?

Re: Virtual machines, ISO's, and disk cloning
Re: Virtual machines, ISO's, and disk cloning @leibylucwgamerRe question 1: Depends on what you mean by accessible.The GUI of VMWare Player/Workstation/Fusion is very accessible and you can do almost everything with NVDA, Jaws or Voiceover.But the GUI of Oracle Virtualbox is not very accessible and if you have no particular reason for using Virtualbox, you'll better stay with VMWare's solutions.However, if you don't fear reading documentation and the commandline, I'll say that Virtualbox and VMWare are equally accessible provided you know what you are doing.Re question 2: An iso file is just an image of the contents of a cd, dvd and in the context of virtualization an iso is often used to jumpstart the installation of the operating system in a virtual machine.You can use VMWare's Easy Install feature to install a new operating system like Windows or Linux in a virtual machine by directing the program to an iso containing the boota ble operating system.Re question 3: Yes, you can in fact clone a physical installation of an operating system to a virtual machine and Vice Versa.This process is often called p2v or v2p and is a standard function of many commercial products.But you may also do it by hand.Let's say that you have a physical installation of Windows you need to use inside a virtual machine.Yes you can, but first you must know which machine architecture i.e X86 or X64 is supported by the physical and virtual hardware.If your physical installation of Windows is 64bit, you must virtualize it in a 64bit virtual environment by creating a VM with similar parameters.Also is the hardware controller of the harddisk or SSD hosting the operating system IDE or SCSI.It's very important that you understand these concepts.And finally what is the Hardware Abstraction layer on the physical and virtual hardware?Windows XP, 7 and 8.1 may react differently if moved from one physical to a virtual hardware configuration, and unless you know what you are doing, it's easy to mess up something.However keep in mind that such a conversion physical>virtual or virtual>physical may trip up Windows activation or software DRM.But with all these caveats, yes you can.I have just succeeded in creating a Windows To Go of Windows 8.1 which I booted successfully on different computers -- a brand new computer with 16GB ram and I7 processor and and old netbook with an Atom processor.You don't need Windows 8.1 Enterprise to create a Windows To Go.It can be created from any version of Windows 8.1.A Windows To Go can host the same applications as a full OS like Jaws, Office and yes even Itunes.Who needs Levtec Winstaller when you can do it yourself for free :-) URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=212383#p212383 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Virtual machines, ISO's, and disk cloning Hi,For question 1, you can use VMware player, which can be found at www.grossgang.com/vmware along with some virtual machines. Those vms have screen readers. For more vms that have screen readers go to http://eurpod.net/vmware hth.

Virtual machines, ISO's, and disk cloning
Virtual machines, ISO's, and disk cloning Hello all,It's been quite some time I've been on this forum.Anyhow, I wanted to know about some computer-related things involving what the subject line indicates...I saw a post on here about virtual machines, but I thought it best to not clog up that thread by asking a question not directly related to the topic. My questions are:1. What virtual machine software is accessible?2. How do you create and use ISO images?3. Is it possible to take a copy of a configuration on a hard drive and image it onto an ISO file? I've heard of companies doing this for business reasons, but I wasn't sure about its legality for personal use...I was working with Oracle Virtual Box, but had no such luck.Any help would be great on this!Best Regards,Luke URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=212041#p212041 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
