For example, installing a complete mail server solution on a real machine can be a tedious task. Software vendors can use virtual machines to ship entire software configurations. Since you can configure what kinds of “virtual” hardware should be presented to each such operating system, you can install an old operating system such as DOS or OS/2 even if your real computer’s hardware is no longer supported by that operating system. This way, you can run software written for one operating system on another (for example, Windows software on Linux or a Mac) without having to reboot to use it. VirtualBox allows you to run more than one operating system at a time. VirtualBox provides are useful for several scenarios: Running multiple operating systems simultaneously. VirtualBox is a powerful virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use.
Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for hardware. So I'm trying to get virtualbox to present the loopback device (as a vmdk) to the guest OS as an emulated USB Mass Storage device so that WinToUSB will install windows to it so that I can dd it to a real USB device and use that to flash my BIOS.VirtualBox Latest Version is free to download from our software library. So WinToUSB refuses to try to install to this fixed disk. The loopback device that I created and passed into the Windows 7 guest OS that I'm running WinToUSB in presents it as a standard fixed disk. However, the program that I'm using to install Windows to a USB drive (called WinToUSB) will only install to (you guessed it) a USB Mass storage device. My idea was to create a loopback device the same size as the USB drive and install Windows to that instead, then just dd that image onto the USB. The installation is going painfully slow because USB drives are very slow to write. My idea was to quickly install windows to a USB drive so that I could just boot into a live windows environment.
To update the BIOS on my linux server, I need to run a windows program.
