From Marks's blog, type: sudo mount -o bind /dev /media/THATGUID/dev You'll also want to rearrange the windows so you can open up a Terminal Window (from Applications, Accessories) and have the two near each other. You're going to need to type that, so get emotionally ready.
That will open up a disk browsing window with a GUID (yes, a GUID) in the title bar. Now, go to the Places Menu in the top menu and click your File System. Instead, you need to make a few changes to make your new system bootable. Wait a while.and IMPORTANT do not restart when it's done or you are screwed.

You can get out with Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow.ĭouble-Click Install Ubuntu and start the process using all the defaults. If you click in your VM, the mouse will be captured. You find yourself at a desktop.make sure that from Tools|Settings that your Network Card in the VM is attached to a REAL physical network card. Then add vga=791 noreplace-paravirt at the end of the white command line so it looks like: If you let it just boot without hitting ESC it'll start a bit, then give up. IMPORTANT: When it starts booting, hit ESC when you see a blinking cursor, then you'll find yourself here.
In the Settings for your VM, tell it that the DVD drive actually be the Ubuntu ISO that you downloaded. I saw some strangeness with dynamically expanding disks. I find this is faster and can avoid some strange disk errors with Ubuntu and the VM. When you create a Hard Drive, create a Fixed one rather than a dynamic one. I have 8 gigs on my machine, so I give it probably more than was needed and allocated 3gigs. Go into the Virtual Machines folder, and click Create Virtual Machine.(When you have VPC, you can also some of the various free IE browser testing VMs as well).(You don't need to get Windows XP Mode, but if you want, it's nice.).If you have new or update or better info that is specific to the new changes in Ubuntu 10.4, let me know. I'm trying to make this post as complete as possible. I did now find some useful command-line parameters in this blog post from Mark Wilson.

There's lots of info spread around on how to install various older versions of Ubuntu under various older versions of Virtual PC, but I didn't find any referring to the newish Ubuntu 10.4 and VPC on Win 7.
