VirtualBox is an virtualization tool which is used to create and use the multiple operating systems by using virtual disk. It tests or uses the other operating system without damaging the current platform. Let see how to use this.
Step 1 : Install the VirtualBox software, if you are not already have it.
If you don't know how to install VirtualBox,
Simply go to Ubuntu Software Center and type virtualbox in search box and then select virtual box package and install.
Otherwise, if you have problem of not getting any search results, or wanna to install latest version, then check my previous post about to install a VirtualBox.
Step 2 : Open VirtualBox then click New to create new virtual machine.
Step 3 : Now select the Type of Operating System and version of the operating system. Fill the name of the operating system in Name field and then click Next button.
Step 4 : Select the RAM size for the Operating System. Here i'm picking just 640 MB RAM size because as a windows XP OS , 512 MB is enough.
Step 5 : Select the option " Create a virtual hard drive now " and click create button to create the new virtual hard drive for your virtual machine.
Step 6 : Now Select Hard drive file type in the listed options. Just select VDI type and click Next.
Step 7 : Select Storage type. Just select " Dynamically allocated " and click Next, because it will automatically adjust the storage on usage.
Step 8 : And Now just click Next with file location and size. My advise don't do any modification if you new, and just press Next to proceed next step.
Step 9 : Now you will see the window like this. Select the Windows XP machine which you created and press START button.
Step 10 : Click Next and Now select the iso file path from your machine, by clicking browsing button in that right corner. Check the screenshot below.
Step 11 : Then press Next to proceed the other steps. After finishing two more steps by just clicking Next Button, ISO setup window will appear.
Its just like the normal OS installation process. Make the OS installation Process and install it. That's all you are done. Once you installed , you can simply use it other times by Power On the machine.
Enjoy!
