    1. The document provides installation notes for setting up a virtual machine using Oracle VirtualBox. 2. It describes downloading VirtualBox, creating a new virtual machine by selecting the guest OS and allocating RAM and disk space, and installing the guest OS either from an ISO image or DVD. 3. The process of installing an OS in the virtual machine is similar to a physical machine, but first the boot order must be set to boot from the CD/DVD, then the ISO file is mapped to the virtual CD/DVD drive before starting the VM to begin installation.

    1. Download VirtualBox
    Download from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
    Download Oracle VirtualBox and run the .exe file.
    Host – The physical machine where you are going to install VirtualBox.
    Guest – The machines created using VirtualBox (Virtual Machine).
    Guest Additions – A set of software components, which comes with VirtualBox to
    improve Guest performance and also to provide some additional features.

    2. Creating a Virtual Machine (For Guest OS)


    1) Open Application -> System Tools -> VirtualBox (Command name is “virtualbox”)
    2) Click Machine -> New. This will launch a “Create New Virtual Machine” wizard.
    Click Next.
    3) Enter the name of the Guest Machine as you desire and choose the Operating
    System and Version that you are planning to install, and click “Next”.
    4) Enter the RAM size that you want to provide to your Guest machine. Now it will ask
    you to choose your “Virtual Hard Disk” for installing the guest OS as follows.
    5) Since this is the first time we are installing, click “Create New Hard disk”. Create
    “New Virtual Disk” wizard will open. Click Next.
    6) Now we need to choose, whether the disk has to be “Dynamically expanding
    disk” or “Fixed-size storage”.
    Note: for a guest machine, it sees a file residing in the host machine as the “Hard
    Disk”. Whenever a guest machine does any write to disk, it will be written into
    the file which resides on the host machine
    7) If we select “Fixed Storage” and if we choose the size as 10GB then, in the host
    machine (by default under .VirtualBox/Guest-Machine/Guest-Machine.vdi) a file will
    be created with 10GB of size.
    8) If we select “Dynamic Storage” then, …VirtualBox/Guest-Machine/Guest-
    Machine.vdi will initially be a small size file, but it will grow whenever the guest
    machine writes data to the disk.
    9) Choose “Dynamic storage” and click Next.
    10) Enter the maximum size that you want to allocate for the guest machine.
    11) Click Finish. Notice that a file named “Guest-Machine.vdi” will be created under “.
    VirtualBox/Guest-Machine/”.
    12) Click “Finish” to complete the creation of the Virtual Machine. Now a new “Virtual
    Machine” is created and it will be in “power off” state.

    3. Installing OS in a Virtual Machine


    We can install any OS (personally tested Windows and Linux) on a virtual machine. We
    can install the OS in a virtual machine by 2 methods
    Through OS-DVD
    Through ISO image of the OS
    Here we will cover the installation using an ISO image, although using the DVD is very
    similar to this. Make sure that the iso file of your distribution is present in the host
    machine.
    1) Launch “virtualbox”. Select the newly created virtual machine. Click “Settings”.
    2) Now a new window appears which will list out the settings group on the left panel
    and actual setting on the right side as follows. Select “System”. On the right panel
    ensure that the boot order is correct (Similar to setting the boot order in BIOS).
    3) Use the “Move Up” or “Move Down” button to change the boot order, and make
    sure CD/DVD is selected as the “First boot device” and click “Ok”.
    4) The next step is to map the “ISO file” of your distribution to the virtual CD/DVD
    device.
    5) Under “Settings” go to “Storage”, the following screen will appear. Click the “CD
    icon” and choose the “iso file of the OS”, here I used “Debian-Lenny”. Click
    “Ok”.
    6) Now select the virtual machine, and click “Start”. It will start to boot from the
    CD/DVD which is mapped to the ISO file.
    7) The OS installation is similar to installing an OS in a physical machine.
    8) Once OS is installed successfully, change the “Boot Order” to boot from HDD, and
    click “Start”.
    Now you can start using the virtual machine like other machines.
