[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 898029, member: 71075"] In many cases, virtualization is a much better option. There is no need to install it to the HD for many reasons. Have you installed the guest additions? When your VM is started, go to Devices > "Install Guest Additions...". This will mount the image in your VM. You now have to install the additions from the bash prompt. Make sure to choose the right ones though - there are both 32 and 64-bit guest additions. To install them, open up a terminal window, navigate to the mount point for the images (probably /media/cdrom) and execute the binaries from there. So, if they got mounted to /media/cdrom, you would execute the following:[CODE]cd /media/cdrom sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run[/CODE]I can't remember the exact name of the additions but the 32-bit ones are named something similar to that which I executed above. It is also important to execute it with root permissions (hence the sudo). [/QUOTE]
