The conversion was successful, giving me an 11.7GB VDI file. I pulled the drive from the PC, connected it to my Win10 host, and imaged the old PC's drive to a VDI file using this command:Ĭode: Select all Expand view Collapse view VBoxManage convertfromraw \\.\PhysicalDrive2 FrontDeskXP.vdi -format VDI Before this thing goes up in smoke I want to see if I can get it running in a virtual environment.

(Stop me if you've heard this one before.) Have an ancient PC running XP SP3 performing a mission-critical task with no backup. That way, all you have to do is to import the image to the VirtualBox and you can start the system immediately.Host is Win 10 Pro 21H2, VBox is 6.1.34 r150636 (Qt5.6.2). When you would like to test Linux distributions, either as your next potential operating system of choice or just to see how far Linux has come, you can save some time and download pre-installed images. They have VirtualBox and VMware images available. You will find distributions like CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Linux Mint, MX Linux, Manjaro, Solus OS, Deepin, PoP!_OS, Kubuntu and Elementary OS. Linuxvmimages have a little bit fewer images compared to OSBoxes but the range is still quite extensive. OSBoxes is one of the most popular websites where you can get most if not all distributions available as VirtualBox images. You can use websites that specialize in providing VirtualBox images. Linux has many different distributions so installing them all just to test the system, would require a lot of time. Once the download is complete you can import VM to VirtualBox. Here you can choose the virtual machine type, in our case, we will choose VirtualBox.
You can visit the Microsoft developer website. To download virtual disk images for VirtualBox, I will list a couple of resources to save you some time. To save some time, you can download pre-built virtual machine images. But if you have to test several operating systems, you could spend time installing for other tasks. If you install it once, then fine, you can deal with 30 minutes for installation. Usually, you install the required operating system in the virtual machine.
