Run backtrack2 (and other OS, linux..etc) on windows

Post by Sethioz »

This is a small tutorial on how you can run other OS in windows.
like backtrack2 for example. it has to be live cd (.iso format).

First you need VMware player
then you need OS (included as attachment)
1. install vmware player
2. unpack os.zip
3. get the live cd/dvd for the OS you want. (im using backtrack2)
4. go into OS folder (where you extracted it)
5. open OS.vmx with NOTEPAD!!! (dont click on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, right click - open with)
6. find the line saying ''ide1:0.fileName = "c:\image.iso"''
7. change ''ide1:0.fileName = "c:\image.iso"'' to the path of your OS image
-example. if your live OS image is located in c:\downloads\linux.iso" then this is how the line should look like:
ide1:0.fileName = "c:\downloads\linux.iso"
8. save and close OS.vmx
9. now simply double click on OS.vmx and that will run your OS in windows as a program.

-you can just make a shortcut into OS.vmx and call it to your OS .. like ''backtrack2''
-in normal linux you can setup sharing folders to be able to share files between windows and other OS, but im working on the backtrack2 sharing...


-NOTE - you can use any virtual machine tool ofcourse, BUT backtrack2 is not working in virtual machine in some reason. it boots up and stuff, but it doesn't mount mouse when you click on it. so this is y this method instead of virtual machine.
