VM, can VMWare (installed on a NTFS partition) support DOS? If it can, you've just saved me a heck of a lot of grief. :) jose '-)

Jose, [quote=hard drive" is actual a file on the physical host machines physical hard drive. No matter what vitual host you load - the "hard drive" will be a file on your physical machine, Linux, Windows, whatever. These files can be huge depending on how big of "hard drive" you allocate to your virtual machine. When you create a new virtual machine you tell VMWare what type of machine it is going to be and where it is stored. When you start the new virtual machine VMWare goes through a BIOS check like a physical machine. You then install what ever OS you are loading just like you would on a physical machine {you still need to have the media for what ever you are loading}. The only difference is that once everything is loaded the drivers {video, audio, NIC} are VMWare's. It knows how to interface with the physical hardware on the physical host {video card, onboard audio, network card, whatever}. I am getting ready to load my C++ for the DevKit. I clone {copy an existing version of a virtual machine} to a new virtual machine location, run sysprep, and add it to my domain - load what ever I want. It is a completely seperate machine. If I am testing something and don't want to harm my production machine, I can clone a virtual machine, do the test, and no matter the result my original was not touched or harmed. The current version of VMWare even comes with a movie recorder to record your activity, like Patricks lessons. If you are looking to test VMWare - I believe it is a free download and will work for 30 days. They also have a player like Microsoft's Office reader that will open Office documents so you don't have to buy the whole suite. The reader works with existing virtual machines of both VMWare & VirtualPC. I tested the Linux version of the player with an existing Win2k virtual box. Worked like a champ. I also have Linux virtual machines on my XP box. I have one high end XP desktop machine and a beefy file server with lots of space. They are gigabit and all of my virtual machines are stored on the file server but ran from my desktop. You can configure the virtual machine to talk over the physical network as any other machine would or have it isolated for testing questionable or harmful stuff. I can't say enough about this product, and I don't own any of their stock. It is that good! v
