Tutorial Virtual Machine with Virtual box in your Windows

longtime kartolocyber wasnot update the article, some of us so busy in our study. okey, i'll write about virtual machine in Windows. Sometimes, there is a particular program that we want to run but is plagued with compatibility Operating System (OS). For example there are applications that we know first run on WinXP but now after a try again in Win7 not be opened (crash). Or even it could also have a special application we need to work, but teryata application can only run on Windows while Linux-based computer.

Of course, we can use the system to plant two Dual Booting OS in one computer. But sometimes this method is less practical because more needs to be prepared such as set partitioning, manage files, etc.. In addition, if one day we already do not need a second OS, then the uninstall process was not easy. All too often ended up reformatting, and that means set the partitions and file again.
Actually, there is one practical solution to this, that is by using VirtualBox. With VirtualBox, you can as if making a new computer ( virtual machine ) and install it with the OS you want (Guest OS). More great again, you can run both at the same time, moving from guest to host and vice versa with ease. If it does not need anymore, you just delete it (remove) the virtual machine without a complex process.

Well, in this article I will explain about how to create a virtual machine using VirtualBox. Because many things to be explained, for convenience, so I split them up into several sections, namely: Download & installl Virtual Box, Virtual Machine http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifSetup & Guest OS, and the last is the setting. In this example, I will install WinXP in a virtual machine that will be created. As for his own VirtualBox I run across operating systems Win7. So, the Guest OS and Host OS = WinXP = Win7. Here are the steps:
DOWNLOAD & INSTALL VirtualBox

Next you will go to the Create New Virtual Disk Wizard. Click Next to continue. You can choose whether the size of virtual hard disk later this magnitude can change or always remain. For savings should you choose a dynamically expanding storage. Click Next if you have selected. Here you can choose the location where the virtual hard disk will be created, it also determines the maximum size hard disk (hard disk maximum size). VirtualBox by default suggested size is 10 G. But you also can set smaller as long as you believe that size is sufficient for your needs later. Click Next. This is a Summary of the Create New Virtual Disk Wizard. Click Finish. It appears that you already have a virtual machine called WinXP, although it is still empty. Now the next task is to fill this virtual machine with the Guest OS. Double-click on the entry to start WinXP.
You will be greeted by First Run Wizard. Just click Next.Here you will select the media you will use as a source installation.

Before you start "playing around" with this new virtual machine it's good to do some changes to the settings used to make you more comfortable in using it later. Some settings require the virtual machine in a non-active, some can only be done in the Guest OS Safe Mode. Thus, to present first shutdown the Guest OS you.

Next run the virtual machine again. After entering Windows, try running Explorer. It appears that the Shared Folders now can be accessed.
Applications that can not be opened in Win7 are now able to run.

an explanation of the technical steps to create a virtual machine and its installation with the Guest OS using VirtualBox. In this way, we seemed to have a "new computer" is ready to run. In the world of IT, many benefits to be gained by using this VirtualBox. A Java programmer who want to create a multi-platform applications, can use VirtualBox to test programs in various OS (Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, etc.).

Or someone who is studying to be a hacker, usually also will create a virtual machine to test the efficacy of scripts or artificial virus, without having to worry about major OS that is being used also infected. You can also experiment with VirtualBox it suits your needs.
