Once you have Ubuntu, feel free to customize it the way you want using “apt-get install” or from the Ubuntu Software center. I suggest you read this tutorial on wubi. If you want to remove this, go to control panel> Add or remove programs> and uninstall Ubuntu like any other software. There are a couple of things you wont be able to do in this set up in comparison to using a dual boot that allocates disk space to the distro. The next time you bot your system, you will have 2 OSs to boot from.
Its quite similar to installing a game and you can choose the amount of space you want Ubuntu to have. Wubi lets you have dual boot without having to back up your data or anything. Just burn this to a disc and put it into your drive while in Windows 7. It will be there in the iso you download. There is a software called Wubi that comes along with Ubuntu. But, if you would like to set up a dual boot, its quite easy. Using VirtualBox to get familiar with Linux is a great way to go. I am not an expert on this matter but you can be sure Linux is nothing to be scared of. SOLUTION: Enable Intel VT-x/AMD-V from BIOS
Note: Fedora had no such problem.and i found issues online only for Debian variants.ubuntu and such.hmm… Im running Debian 64 bit.and it works very fine indeed. Where can you enable it from? Its in the BIOS…press ‘esc’ when you see the Vendor logo and you will reach the pre boot screen from where you can choose the bios.browse around, find Virtualization Technology and Enable it… Googling i found out that there is something called Intel Virtualization Technology, and AMD V, for those respective boards…so its needs to be enabled.i have a Intel board and i kept thinking this was enabled…of-course it wasnt.
And mounted it and went allover again…:) guess what? Unable to boot – please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU”Īsking around, i jumped to the conclusion that VBox doesn’t support 64bit OS. “This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. An amazing error that i encountered installing Debian into Virtual box…its simple enough…mount your iso and install through VBox.įirst couple of times, it was just the install screen and nothing i can move.obviously no mouse, neither the keyboard…as Sriram said, no “Press Any Key to continue.” then i tried out the help option so it had a “Press any key to boot…” so i pressed enter as we all do…Īnd i got the error, and i so not have a screen shot for you but it went (but very similar to this) :
