Re: Finding W2K was Re: La Machine Est Morte, Vive La Machine!

So far as I know, none of the VMs except Microsoft's own care about
version of Win 7, nor is there any difference in how VBox or or VMware perform.


 If you have Win 7-64 Pro, you will probably want to run XyWrite
from MS Virtual XP.


If not, I would recommend VMware/Win2K rather than VBox/Win2K because
VBox at present will not allow XyWrite to display directories on the
host drive.

Kari, does VirtualBox care about the flavor of Windows it's installed
on (Home vs. Pro, etc.)? I know that Windows' XP Mode requires Pro or
better, but that's a Windows thing, right? Requirements aside, would
there be any appreciable difference in how VBox runs under Win 7 Home
Premium vs. Win 7 Pro?

Quoting Kari Eveli :


Harry,

You should get your W2K up and running without SCSI drivers. There
should not be any problems. Download the latest VBox for your
platform: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Then make a new virtual machine using the defaults for W2K.
Put the CD in your drive and go.
