Finally, I just checked, and it's still possible to get a refurbished PC on www.newegg.com with windows xp for less than $200 if you want to go that route.

Re: [VBox-users] gpt uefi can we create those in vbox?
Le 02/02/2018 à 04:36, Harry Putnam a écrit : I'm running any vms on an x86 solaris host that has neither of those things (no gpt style disk nor any uefi) style boot arrangement. But if it is possible to create (gpt disks/uefi boot setup) them no idea if it's possible on solaris host, but on linux it works ok. be only warned than ream UEFI firmware are a mess, any computer have it's own buggy one, so what you learn on virtual machine is very basic you can try a real (second hand) laptop to test.

Re: [VBox-users] Howto shrink the file containing a vdi file.
Le 21/08/2018 à 03:01, Allan a écrit : After you have found some way to 0 your freespace sectors, close the VM and run: vboxmanage modifymedium --compact it may use much diskspace ! Remember a backup copy of the VDI, before you try ;-) I didn't look at this recently, but what I would try would be: * remember than the vdi file is like a physicalvdisk, and the install is like a *partition* * so assuming you have a windows guest shrink the disk size *in windows*. If you have a linux guest, do the same with gparted or alike. * then the above command line should reduce the disk (vdi) size just a guess! jdd -- http://dodin.org -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ VBox-users-community mailing list VBox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community ___ Unsubscribe: mailto:vbox-users-community-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net?subject=unsubscribe
Re: [VBox-users] Howto shrink the file containing a vdi file.
Le 23/08/2018 à 00:50, Allan a écrit : Yeah, I guess you are right. If the partitions in Win gets shrunk to a lesser size, then the VDI should never grow over that size, even if it has room for more. That might be a simpler solution (that has the advantage, that you l8r can simply expand the partition again, if you have a new need for extra space). be warned than partition size and file system size are not the same thing. I guess windows moves the two of them accordingly by default but linux don't (some file system can't) jdd -- http://dodin.org -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ VBox-users-community mailing list VBox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community ___ Unsubscribe: mailto:vbox-users-community-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net?subject=unsubscribe
Re: [VBox-users] What's the easiest way to create a virtual image from a physical partition?
Le 09/09/2019 à 20:42, Chris Green a écrit : I have a Lenovo T470 laptop on which I run xubuntu. It also has a Windows 7 partition. It would be really handy to be able to run Windows 7 as a virtual machine. What's the easiest way to do this? Is the easiest route to use VMware's tools and then convert the VMware virtual machine or are there better ways? why not use virtualbox? jdd -- http://dodin.org ___ VBox-users-community mailing list VBox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community ___ Unsubscribe: mailto:vbox-users-community-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net?subject=unsubscribe
