The method of mounting the same time there are many more operating systems such as Linux Grub boot, WindowsNT OS Loader guide, System Commander boot, Partition Magic to change the active partition, etc., but always cumbersome and difficult, and each system occupies the hard disk space will be more. Using VMware virtual machine (the Virtual) technology, can separate from the original system a portion of the hard disk space and memory, the virtual into a Taiwan "new machine", the "new machine" owned and independent of the BIOS, a hard disk, can be like treat the new machine as on the partition, formatting, installing systems and software, and will not have any impact on the original host, powerful enough, right?
Possible use VMware's friends few, today I will introduce some of the more practical tips:
Increase skills 1.VMware virtual machine techniques of physical memory available to a virtual machine
By default mode, VMware will automatically allocate physical memory size Guest System can be used in virtual machine creation process, such as the distribution of Windows Me is 64MB. However, even after the end of the virtual machine is created, we can still increase the available memory for it, The purpose of this course is to improve the efficiency and speed of the virtual machines running.
When Guest System does not power up, opened from under the "Settings" menu "Configuration Editor" window, select the "Memory" item under "Device", and then added to the manual to the right of "Guest size" box you want value, then click on the "OK" button to take effect.
Skills Skills 2.VMware virtual machine hardware add skills
By default, VMrare virtual machine only the default installation of hard drives, floppy drives, optical drives, network cards and other standard equipment, if you want to use a sound card, serial, parallel, SCSI and other equipment, then it can only be added manually
Under "Device" shows a virtual machine all installed hardware devices, click on the "Add" button to add other devices in the window, after you select a device click "Next" button follow the instructions step by step operation down on it.
However, even if the problem can not be added successfully used occasionally occur, I remember a long time can not use the sound card in the Guest System, although successfully added following the steps above, but still can not find after starting in Device Manager sound card, which is forced from the "control panel / Add new hardware" before we can solve this problem.
Switching Tips Control Tips 3.VMware virtual machine Skills
Due to the characteristics of VMware's work it is to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on a single computer, so this problem there is a switching control of the system, and if you find the mouse and keyboard can not be used in a particular operating system, then it must be switched the default switching method is pressing the Ctrl + Alt key combination, but you can also click on the left mouse button in the lower part of the VMware window.
If you feel simultaneously press the keys more strenuous, then you can customize the desired hotkey "Hot Keys" tab "Settings / Perferences" window
Correct shutdown of skills 4.VMware virtual machine Skills Skills
Please note that my friends, shut down the virtual machine must also follow certain steps, if click on Power OFF button on the toolbar VMware, then it is equivalent to the usual sense of the illegal shutdown, next time you start the virtual machine will it automatically scans the disk. The correct way should be from the "Start" menu in the implementation of "shutdown" command, anyway, all in accordance with normal operation.
Tips 5.VMware end of the task virtual machine techniques tips
If you are still in accordance with past habit of using "Ctrl + Alt + Del" key combination in a virtual machine to end the mission, they will surely find Hosts host even gave the same response, the correct approach should be to use "Ctrl + Alt + Ins "key combination, or from" "to the next menu" Send Ctrl-Alt-Del "command line also Power
Tips 6.VMware virtual machine garbage problem solving skills Skills
Sometimes, in the course of running a virtual machine, we will find that there will be a lot of garbled characters or Huaping on the screen, because this is not a video card driver is not installed correctly, the solution is to make the virtual machine operating system running in full screen mode, This should not be a problem.
Tips 7.VMware VM virtual machine network Skills Tips
Now, you no longer need to use multiple machines can be composed of local area network using VMware to create virtual machines out of the original host can be composed of local area network can be used normally, but the virtual machine can access the Internet yet.
The first step: When you install the correct choice of network connectivity
When the installation process into the "select a network connection" this step, you can see there are four kinds of network connections to choose: "Use bridged networking" connection allows the virtual machine to connect to the LAN Host resides in the host through the network card. And "Use network address translation (NAT)" refers to access Host host by IP address, "Use host-only networking" is applicable to the machine network card is not installed or if you want the case of virtual machines only communicate with the host of the Host, "Do not use a network connection "is not representative of a network connection.
Step Two: Set the correct IP properties of network card
After entering Guest System, in order to ensure the Host through the network neighborhood to access the host or other LAN computers must also enter the "Control Panel / Network" window, find the 8 window "TCP / IP- AMD PCNET Family Ethernet Adapter (which virtual LAN equipment is a virtual machine created) ", click" properties "button to enter the IP address and DNS address for the network card is configured, there is not much to say.
Step 3: Run a home network connection wizard
If you want the virtual machine can help Host Host Access Internet, you must also run a home network connection wizard, the wizard prompts step by step in accordance with operation down on it. After completion of the above work, please restart the system, if everything goes well, we can access resources on the Host Host in the network neighborhood.
Skills Skills 8.VMware virtual machine virtual machine BIOS setup tips
Since the virtual machine is a computer simulation out, and that of course has its own BIOS program, but please note that my friends, no matter what the original motherboard BIOS using a virtual machine created out of all use Phoenix BIOS, so as long as the start virtual machine press the F2 key to enter the BIOS setup window. However, you can not expect to update the virtual machine BIOS yo.
Install the video tips tricks 9.VMware virtual machine Skills
After the Guest System installation is complete, the desktop by default only uses 16 colors, so we must install the graphics card driver, or can not use higher than 640 × 480 resolution. However, because there is also a virtual graphics card out, the driver where is it?
Original, VMware's virtual graphics driver is on the virtual floppy disk, you must first activate the virtual floppy job prior to installation. Select "VMware Tools Install" command from the "Settings", follow the system prompts to do so step by step on it.
Tips Tips 10.VMware virtual virtual machine Skills CD ISO file
Previously, when we use the ISO CD file, usually always need to first use for the virtual CDROM ISO file to. Now, you only need to set the property "DVD / CD-ROM" to "Use ISO image" can be directly as a virtual CD files, so that you can dials trouble ISO file.
Of course, after the Guest System started, you can go to modify its properties, change the point of the ISO file, or switch it back to a physical drive, so do not need to restart can read the contents of the new virtual CD-ROM normally, this a feature especially useful for testing the bootable ISO file and can be installed sexual nature.
Tips Tips 11.VMware delete the virtual machine techniques of virtual machines
To remove the VMware virtual machine than actually remove an operating system much simpler, just select "Remove From List" can be directly in the context menu, of course, this is only deleted in the list, its corresponding files are not removed, each the establishment of a virtual machine on the host will create a named directory to the operating system name, location, mostly in the "my documents", just delete it if found.
