Windows 8 (Beta) download for Oracle Virtualbox

I tried to download Windows 8 (beta) using the VM Ware Player and was not successful with the internet access part. It was not picking up internet and the player said VM Ware Tools were not available. I do not have a fix for this but I have another option. Oracle Virtualbox… I downloaded the virtualbox and noticed during the download that it requested for me to allow it to download the network adapters (which I could not find for the VM Ware Player), accepted. No problems at all with the internet. It was able to connect through the host OS internet. First thing you need to do is download and install a copy of Oracle Virtualbox. Then download a copy of Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Check your operating system to decide whether or not you need a 32 or 64-bit version. Once your Oracle Virtualbox downloads, launch it and click New. Give your virtual machine a name- I used Windows 8. Then choose Microsoft OS and Windows 8 as the version. Click Next, and use the slider to choose how much RAM will be allocated to your virtual machine. Microsoft recommends 1024MB for 32-bit Windows 8, 2048MB for the 64-bit edition. Accept the three subsequent default options — create a new hard disk, in the default VDI format, dynamically allocated — clicking Next for each. Now you need to think about the amount of hard drive space you’re willing to allocate to the operating system. Microsoft recommends 16GB for 32-bit Windows 8 and 20GB for 64-bit, but we’d recommend you allow more if you can spare it: 30GB should be more than enough. That should be it. Click Create and you should see your VM in the list on the left. Okay, now to set up Windows. Select your new VM, click settings, and then Storage. You will see that your VM has a single empty optical drive. Place your cursor over this option and you will see two icons to the right. Choose a “virtual CD/DVD disk file”. Point the program at your Consumer Preview ISO file and you’ll see its name now appear under “IDE Controller”, effectively placing your virtual disc in the virtual disc drive. Next you need to click System in the lefthand list. Choose the Processor tab and make sure that “Enable PAE/NX” is checked. Then click OK. Everything is now set up and you may click Start for your VM. You will notice notifications about your mouse and/or keyboard. Just click OK to clear the message and keep in mind that once you click inside your virtual machine, it may lock you in. In order to get out, click CTRL + ALT, and you should be able to move to your host OS. From here follow all the setup processes and click Install. You will be asked for the Product Key after this. The key below worked for me: NF32V-Q9P3W-7DR7Y-JGWRW-JFCK8 Once you enter the key click Next. Accept the terms agreement (or not) and move on to the next page. It will ask you if you want to Upgrade or do Custom installation. Choose Custom. Next you will be asked where you want to install but since there is only one single drive you just need to click Next and that’s it. Now the installer will extract the core Windows 8 files and copy them to where they belong on your virtual drive. It will download (and install any updates) and launch Windows 8 (Beta). And that is it. Now all you need to do is customize it to your personal preferences and take it for a test drive. Hope this was helpful information and have fun! Call or email with any questions or requests you may have. Mariliz www.allcompute.com info@allcompute.com 1322 N. Great Neck Rd. Virginia Beach, VA 23454

Partition a hard drive in Windows 7

After installing a hard drive you must partition it and then format it before it can be used by Windows 7.To partition a hard drive means to divide it into parts and make those parts available to the operating system.  Partitioning is a necessary step before you can use a new drive so Microsoft has made it extremely easy to partition a hard drive in Windows 7.Follow these steps:Open Windows 7 Disk Management from the Computer management utility by clickibg on theStartbutton and choosingControl Panel. Then click on theSystem and Securitylink.  Then go toAdministrative Tools, Computer Management, and then Disk Management.AsDisk Managementopens you will be prompted with anInitialize Diskwindow advising that“you must initialize a disk before Logical Disk Manager can access it.”ChooseMBRif your new hard drive issmallerthan 2 terabytes orGPTif it’slargerthan 2 terabytes. Then clickOK.WithDisk Managementopen, locate the hard drive you want to partition from the graphical drive map on the bottom half of the screen.If the hard drive is brand new, it will probably be on a dedicated row labeledDisk 1, or some number other than zero, and sayUnallocated.If the space you want to partition is part of physical hard drive that is already partially partitioned, theUnallocatedspace will be next to that space.Once you locate the drive,right-clickon theUnallocatedspace and chooseNew Simple VolumeThe “New Simple Volume Wizard” should appear.  ClickNextIn theSpecify Volume Sizestep, clickNext >to confirm the size of the partition.The size displayed in theSimple volume size in MB:field should equal the size listed as theMaximum disk space in MB:. This means that you’re creating a partition that equals the size of the entire hard drive or unpartitioned space.The next step, calledAssign Drive Letter or Path, does just that, since your new partition will need a drive letter.Windows 7 automatically chooses the next available drive letter (skipping A and B) so if that drive letter is OK with you, just clickNext >.Important:It’s best to commit to this drive letter. Deciding later to change a drives letter in Windows 7 can cause problems if programs are installed on the drive.Next, Windows 7 gives you the option to complete a format of the drive immediately after partitioning it. Since this tutorial is focused atpartitioninga hard drive, let’s wait toformatthe drive until we’re done creating the partition.ChooseDo not format this volumeand then clickNext >.TheCompleting the New Simple Volume Wizardpage displays a quick summary of the partition options you chose.Check that the settings shown are similar to this:Volume Type:Simple VolumeDisk selected:Disk 1Volume size:2045 MBDrive letter or path:E:File system:NoneAllocation unit size:DefaultNote:TheDisk selected,Volume size, andDrive letter or pathvalues will differ depending on your specific setup.File system: Nonejust means that you’ve decided not to format the drive at this time.ClickFinishto begin Windows 7′s partition of the hard drive.Your cursor will turn busy for a few to several seconds. Once your new drive letter (E: in my example) appears in the drive listing at the top of theDisk Managementscreen, the partition of the hard drive is completeAt this point,Disk ManagementpromptsWindows Explorerto open your new drive.However, since the new drive is not yet formatted,Windows Explorergives you the following alert:“You need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?”ChooseCanceland follow the directions linked in Step 12.Note:If you’re familiar with hard drive formatting, you’re welcome to instead click onFormat diskand use the directions in Step 12 as a general reference, instead of a specific how-to guide, to performing the format right now.Now that you’ve partitioned a hard drive, you must format it so Windows 7 can use the drive.For questions on this or anything computers.  Give us a call at 757-395-4444 or email us atinfo@allcompute.comThanks&have a great day!www.allcompute.com
