Dec 19, 2017 There used to be Windows XP virtual machines on modern.ie. I still have a couple of copies around for testing. Unfortunately after XP going out of support, they were removed. But the copies used to be on Azure CDN (credit /u/JoshBrodieNZ. Seems like they recently removed them too. There's still a way to get Windows XP 32-bit VMs from Microsoft (no 64-bit) through Windows XP mode. Jun 04, 2007 In this article we will show you how to create a Windows XP Virtual Machine. What is a virtual machine you may ask? One of our guest writers explains it in great detail in one of our previous articles titled Virtualization and its Uses in the Tech World. A Virtual Machine is a piece of software which emulates (pretends), to be machine (computer) to do an abnormal task such as running Windows. Download Free Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 VHD Images for Microsoft Virtual PC - If you want to test original Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 for free, you can give a try to free VHD images released by Microsoft. Microsoft has released free.
A Virtual Machine is a piece of software which emulates (pretends), to be machine (computer) to do an abnormal task such as running Windows on a Macintosh computer for example, to occur via the trapping of computer instructions. It is quite literally a computer running ON a computer. One of the by-products of this is that the two systems can be entirely separated from each other, which allows a level of security that just can’t be matched.
If you have downloaded Virtual XP PC from Download Windows XP Mode theninstall it on your PC and then you can open the Virtual Machine from the VMware Player as follows. Browse for the.vmx file in the folder you have installed the Virtual XP PC and Click Open. You can run it. Apr 30, 2016 Download Windows Virtual Machine Images Microsoft has released free and legal Windows virtual machine images that run for 90 days until they expire. If you are a developer or want to test a program, these virtual machine images are perfect! Oct 19, 2009 Windows XP Mode installation: Download the Windows XP Mode installer. Double click on the installer and follow the instructions to complete the installation. Note: We recommend that you save a copy of the Windows XP Mode installer for future, to restore the Windows XP Mode environment. For example, you could burn the installer to DVD or save it. From here you can download and attach the VMDK image to your VMware and use it. We provide images for both architectures 32bit and 64bit, you can download for free for both architectures. At the moment we have plans to offer you 30+ Linux/Unix distributions, we may add more to our list in near future, you can also send us suggestions if we are.
Now, lets make your own XP Virtual Machine.
- To begin, download and install Free VMware player (you will need to fill out a few questions before download). This is what our virtual machine will be running inside of.
- Choose what size you would like your Virtual Machine hard drive size to be (this will take up real hard drive space). I have created several different sizes available for download (right click, save file as..). For testing purposes, the 4Gb is a good choice:
- Download the appropriate file based on which Windows XP you own (right click, save as..) and save it in the same folder that you saved the previous file in:
- For XP Pro: WindowsXPPro.vmx
- For XP Home: WindowsXPHome.vmx
- Insert your WindowsXP CD into your CD Rom.
- Run VMware player which you installed in the first step and click the “Open” button and find the .vmx file you downloaded. Windows Setup should now begin.
- To interact inside your virtual machine, double click on the Window or press CTRL+G. This will make anything you do with the mouse or keyboard work inside the Virtual Machine only and not the desktop you are currently using. To escape the Virtual Machine so you can control your regular desktop, press CTRL+ALT.
- Install WindowsXP as you normally would by following the prompts. When the installation finishes you will see your new Windows XP Virtual Machine Desktop.
- To quit the Virtual Machine, either shutdown the VM version of Windows XP as you do for your normal desktop, or simply close the VMWare Player.
Window XP Virtual Machine. Windows XP being run from within Windows XP
If you want to try this with other Windows operating systems such as Windows 2000. Open up the .vmx file with Notepad and it will look something like this:
Windows Xp Vmx Download
config.version = “8”
virtualHW.version = “3”
ide0:0.present = “TRUE”
ide0:0.filename = “WindowsXPPro.vmdk”
memsize = “64”
MemAllowAutoScaleDown = “FALSE”
ide1:0.present = “TRUE”
ide1:0.fileName = “auto detect”
ide1:0.deviceType = “cdrom-raw”
ide1:0.autodetect = “TRUE”
floppy0.present = “FALSE”
ethernet0.present = “TRUE”
usb.present = “TRUE”
sound.present = “TRUE”
sound.virtualDev = “es1371”
displayName = “Windows XP Pro”
guestOS = “winXPPro”
nvram = “WindowsXPPro.nvram”
MemTrimRate = “-1”
ide0:0.redo = “”
ethernet0.addressType = “generated”
uuid.location = “56 4d 5c cc 3d 4a 43 29-55 89 5c 28 1e 7e 06 58”
uuid.bios = “56 4d 5c cc 3d 4a 43 29-55 89 5c 28 1e 7e 06 58”
ethernet0.generatedAddress = “00:0c:29:7e:06:58”
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = “0”
tools.syncTime = “TRUE”
ide1:0.startConnected = “TRUE”
uuid.action = “create”
checkpoint.vmState = “”
Change the guestOS value to “windows2000pro” and the other WinXPPro values to Win2000 (the rest are just names so they dont matter as much).
Also, these .vmx files are optimized for computers with only 256mb of ram which is why “memsize” equals 64. If you are running 512mb of ram then you might want to set this value to 128 for added performance.
If you would like to customize the size of the .vdmk files. Download Qemu located here and install it to a location such as “c:program filesqemu”.
Goto Start > Run and type CMD.
In the command window, while in the qemu directory (eg, c:program filesqemu>) type:
Windows Xp Vmx Download Software
qemu-img.exe create -f vmdk WindowsXPPro.vmdk 13G
Windows Xp Professional Vmx Download
Replace the 13G with whatever file size you want the VM partition to be (in this case, 13 gig) and it will create it in your qemu directory. You might want to move this out of this directory. Now all if you have to do is repeat the steps in this article using your own .vmdk and .vmx files and you have a custom Virtual Machine.
