Opinions Desired...

Discussion in 'Windows Vista' started by ross m. greenberg, Jul 5, 2009.

  1. I'm looking around for the best "run an ISO image" *without*a required
    reboot -- free, of course. Any opinions?

    Under Vista/Ultimate.

    Thanks!

    I've used Virtual Clonedrive (which is free) for the 2-3 years or so with
    Vista, quite happily

  4. So I downloaded and installed Virtual CloneDrive which was easy enough. Now
    I'm trying to run Puppy, a Linux distribution. It gives me a directory of
    the contents of the distribution does does not actually run it. How do I go
    about enabling Autoplay?

    Ok, if I understand you correctly, it's slightly more complicated than that.

    To run linux, you'll need to do that either within a 'Virtual machine' or
    install it to a separate partition.

    If you mount the iso image within 'Virtual PC' (a free download from
    Microsoft) ,or within VMWare, then you can effectively 'boot' from it within
    the virtual machine, which will install 'puppy linux' to the virtual
    machine.
