Thread: Install Win XP on virtual machine in Wubi installation??

-

here's odd question. make sense (is possible) install windows xp on virtual machine in ubuntu wubi installation?

here's why ask. not normal dual boot ubuntu installation on laptop, running windows xp, because of bad sector on hard drive. tried fixing or isolating bad sector using various software unsuccessful. ubuntu can't/won't repartition hard drive, presumably due bad sector, won't install. gave , did wubi installation instead.

however, there speciallised software use runs in windows, , sucks in wine. @ moment, have close ubuntu , reboot windows use them. easier have windows running on virtual machine in ubuntu. thinking of installing windows on virtual machine in ubuntu , stripping out softaware "native" windows installation, , installing them in virtual machine. use "native" windows run ubuntu.

comments?

does make sense (is possible) install windows xp on virtual machine in ubuntu wubi installation?
in case, might. note wubi install ubuntu not running virtual machine guest of windows, on bare hardware. roles of original windows install are:

(1) first stage booting, when pick whether xp kernel loaded or if going chain grub , load linux kernel.

(2) supplying outer layer of filesystem formatting. in wubi install linux disk partitions stored ntfs files, rather raw disk partitions. linux "mount" command has loopback feature pointing target of mount @ such file instead of @ raw disk partition. using swap file instead of swap partition in non-wubi install.

if want run copy of windows xp virtual guest of linux hypervisor, feel free.

hello ! wrote today article on blog cpu load monitoring (using gpio , leds) on raspberry's. simple (written in little shell script), think can useful (for people want learn leds stuff on r. pi) there 5 leds turning on , off regarding cpu load: - cpu < 20%: 1 led - cpu < 40%: 2 leds - cpu < 60%: 3 leds - cpu < 80%: 4 leds - cpu < 90%: 5/5 leds - cpu >= 90%: 5 leds flashing here article: written in french, can watch youtube video , download code @ bottom of article. http://www.chteuchteu.com/2012/10/26/ra ... e-au-gpio/ if find errors in code, can post comment on article. ! up code enhancements ? raspberrypi
