The first thing you need to do is define the type of virtual machine you wish to create. Enter a descriptive name into the Name box. Select Linux as the Type. Choose Ubuntu as the Version. Click Next to continue. Allocate Memory to the Virtual Machine The next screen asks you to set how much memory you wish to give over to the virtual machine.
Create a Virtual Hard Drive The next three steps are all about allocating disk space to the virtual machine. Select Create a virtual hard drive now. Click Create. You will be asked to select the type of hard drive to create.
Select your desired hard drive type. After specifying the hard drive type and the way the disk is allocated you are asked to specify how much disk space you are going to give over to the Ubuntu Virtual Machine. Do not go below the minimum set and create enough disk space to make it worthwhile. We recommend at least 15 gigabytes. Choose where you wish to save the virtual machine. Specify the disk size. Start the Virtual Machine The Virtual Machine has now been created and you can start it by pressing the Start button on the toolbar.
The first boot requires you to select a startup disk. Click the folder icon. Navigate to the downloads folder and select Ubuntu ISO. Click Start.
Install Ubuntu Within VirtualBox Ubuntu will now boot into a live version of the operating system and a welcome message appears. The first step is to choose the installation language. Choose a language. Click Continue. A screen appears showing how prepared you are for installing Ubuntu. If you are using a laptop make sure your computer is either plugged in or has enough battery life.
We recommend you connect to a power source especially if you plan on installing updates as you go. There are two checkboxes at the bottom of the screen. Choose whether to install updates as you go. Then choose whether to install 3rd party software. If you have a fast enough internet connection it is worth updating as you go but if you don't we would recommend installing Ubuntu and updating later. We would also recommend not installing the 3rd party software at this stage.
This can be done post installation. Select Erase disk and install Ubuntu. Click Install Now. The installation begins and the files are copied to the virtual hard drive.
Choose Your Locations Whilst this is going on you will be asked to choose your location. Click the map to choose your location. Choose Your Keyboard Layout A final couple of steps require you to choose your keyboard layout and create a user. Click through that warning and you're ready to rock.
What happens now is pretty much a standard installation of Windows. This will generally take about the same amount of time a normal installation will take. When you are finished you will have a working install of Windows XP as shown in Figure 3. You will notice XP is inside of a window. Within that window is a menu with three choices. One of those menus you will use quite often is the Machine menu. Of course you can not get to it if the virtual machine has captured your cursor.
If you are working within your VM, and you want to get to that menu, click the right Ctrl key and your cursor is released. Instead of going through the standard process of shutting down Windows XP the easiest method of shutdown is to first Pause the virtual machine and then Close the virtual machine.
When you pause the VM the screen will turn gray see Figure 4 and you can then close that machine. When you click Close you will see another window asking if you want to just close the machine or if you want to save the machine state before you close it.
