Install windows 7 through virtual box in ubuntu 12.04
I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and Virtualbox. I am new to Virtualbox and I am stuck on how to put on windows 7 on it.
I don't get how to do: CD/DVD Drive.
Follow the steps given below;
Once the virtual box window comes up, click on "New"
Give a name for your OS, preferably "windows 7". It should automatically change the version to "windows 7". Click Next.
Select a memory size, preferably "1024 MB" . Click Next.
Choose the hard drive. Select "create a virtual hard drive now". Click Next.
Choose hard drive file type. I personally prefer "VDI" or "VMDK". Click Next.
Choose the storage type on physical hard drive. I prefer "Dynamically allocated". Click Next.
In file location n size choose the defaults. Click Next.
Now it'll show you in the oracle VM virtual box manager.
Now click on START.
Choose the boot medium either CD/DVD ROM(which is default) or browse to an iso file.
From then onwards its just like installing on a physical machine.
