Virtual PC

[maverick786us]

I want to configure Windows 2003 Server on Virtual PC. I have Windows 2003 Server setup ISO file which has 30 days licence.

So What I need to do is, just configure that ISO with on Virtual PC software??

You'll find virtualbox a much better piece of software than VirtualPC.

So for that also if I wanna use windows 2003 server, I can simply specify its ISO?

With VirtualPC, create the computer, start it and press right alt to move your mouse and at the top you'll see a menu bar. I can't remember which option it is but it lets you grab the disc in the CD drive or mount an iso etc.

Yes you choose the ISO. It is really simple to use.

I want to share a folder from my local Machine into the Virtual PC. How can I do that??

It's in the options folder for the VM, under Shared Drives.

Launch virtual PC, click help, go to the search tab. Search on "share drive".

There are multiple ways. You can connect as a regular network share or use the integration tools. I believe the details for both are covered.

I already tried that before, but that option of shared folder is disabled

Your answer is right in the paragraph in your second screen shot. You need to finish installing Server 2003, and then install the Virtual Machine Additions in your Server 2003 VM.

Thanks. I already have a preconfigured image of windows 2003 server. I am just unable to find those addins

When you have the VM running, look under the Action menu.
