Downloading needed Software
VirtualBox comes in two versions: VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) and full VirtualBox package. Here I will use the full package version for Windows XP since it has USB support, SATA controllers support, and Remote Display Protocol (RDP) Server support. You can download it from here . During the installation at some point you will see a message that this software has not passed Windows Logo testing. Just click Continue Anyway.
Next let's download our Linux guest Operating System, Ubuntu. You can download it from here . I will use Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition, also known as Hardy Heron, for Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM). Choose a location near you and click the Start Download button. Your download should start immediately.
