How to import windowsXP livePC
Submitted by David Correa Anaya on August 9, 2007 - 10:43am.
Hi everyone, I got a question for you hope you can help me.
I installed Moka5 bare metal to a Seagate USB 160GB portable hard drive. On the other hand, I also use the xpfromcd tool to make my iso copy from my Windows XP CD, my question is:
-If I run Moka5 engine it turns out pretty easy to import my windows iso file and run it as a Virtual Machine however, I dont know much about the bare metal version so, if I run the moka5 baremetal how can I import the iso file?
I mean, I know there is a huge button named IMPORT however it asks for a URL or Path and I dont know how to write the path for the CD unit or a location inside my internal hard drive:
I wrote: C:/moka5/wincd.iso and I get a message saying there is no such a file or directory and it does.
please could you explain me what to do.
One more thing, how can I know wich LivePC work under baremetal, I tried Fearless browser and DS linux without success
thanks everyone, David
Hi David,
Hi David,
The easiest way to import from the Windows version to Bare Metal is to build the LivePC on the Windows side, package and upload it, then subscribe to the LivePC on the Bare Metal side. Importing on Bare Metal requires some Linux knowledge. Also, the current version of Bare Metal doesn't include NTFS drivers which makes things a little more complicated. The next release of Bare Metal will include NTFS drivers, but even with the drivers it is still non-trivial.
Any of the LivePCs in the library should work with Bare Metal. Does your network use a proxy server? What happens when you try to start those LivePCs? Have any LivePCs worked for you under Bare Metal?
