apologies in advance in case someone answers this already (but looks like have tried everything)
Just build my first pc recently:
AMD® Ryzen 5 3600 6-core processor
ASUS Prime X570-P ATX Motherboard
burn Ubuntu to USB from my MacBook and it's all working fine. ( Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS )
The problem is that I wanna install Windows 10 into PC also.
Have done partition on SSD (have just one SSD + HDD).
But no matter what I try can't seems to install everything right.
It's one of these:
Or pc just can't find my flash drive ( probably something is wrong with the way I burn iso to it)
Or if it does found it I get an error somewhere in the middle of installing, that there is no file for the next step or something like that. ( iso downloaded from Microsoft official page)
I have tried it with various programs (on ios and ubuntu) or even a command line. Even changing settings in BIOS to boot any external drive.
The easy way is to format your Ubuntu partition and install Windows first. Then the Ubuntu installer will automatically detect Windows and and you should be fine.
The hard way is to keep Ubuntu and install Windows. Then you will need to restore grub (Ubuntu's boot loader).
You have to run and install both OS with in (U)EFI mode and adjust some settings in UEFI. This could be the reason for the flashdrive not being found. If you have used tools like Rufus for creation of the bootable USB drive it could also be broken. It is enough to format the flashdrive with FAT32 and copy the contents of the ISO into its root.
Maybe this and this will help

I have an odd situation here — I need to get a copy of Rosetta (the translation program that let's x86 software run on Apple silicon Macs) onto a Mac that can't connect to the internet (yet). I'm hoping someone knows how to download a .zip of it that I can use a hard drive to port to the internet-less computer.
Kind of a long story, but I recently reformatted an Apple Silicon Mac and used migration assistant to clone a copy of my work setup onto it, only the profiles in this employeer build require activation via the corporate network before you can connect to the internet. Normally this is done via the VPN client that comes pre-installed on their machines, only, I can't run that VPN client because it's x86 and the computer is Apple Silicon... but I can't install Rosetta in order to run it either because I can't connect to the internet.
Thus I need to download Rosetta on another computer, put it on a hard drive, and open it on the first computer. Just can't seem to find a file-copy of Rosetta anywhere is the problem.
Install Rosetta on an Apple Silicon Mac with internet:
/usr/sbin/softwareupdate --install-rosetta --agree-to-license
Run the following script to find the installation folder:
grep "RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg" /var/log/install.log
The installation folder path will be something like:
/var/folders/f5/_hdu19hcuin1ckjnqkjcndwkcnadskjnckjqwn/T/OAHSoftwareUpdate/RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg
Go to the installation folder, copy the RosettaUpdateAuto.pkg file and install it on the Mac that is offline.

I'm trying to install kali Linux on VMWare. But I click on iso file of kali Linux. Now when I open a file explorer I see that there is new DVD drive is shown with name "DVD Drive(F) Install Kali Linux" with space "0byte free of 379MB".
Now my question is that, does this new created DVD drive takes 379 MB of memory from my hard disk ? If yes then how should I delete this and recover this memory to my hard disk back. If not then where does this 379 MB of memory came from ?
Please tell the answer by keeping in mind I'm installing OS for the first time.
To clarify things 379MB is the size of your Kali Linux (netinstall) ISO file, you don't have to free memory or delete anything, you just need to unmount (or eject) the virtual DVD on Windows side. This "memory", as you said, came from that...
If you double-click on any *.iso file on Windows, this will "mount" that virtual DVD (not virtual as virtual machine I mean), but this is not absolutely needed to get your job done.
To install a new VM (Kali) on VMWare you should create a new virtual machine inside that environment and attach the ISO file, then create a virtual HD and boot your newly created VM from ISO to complete the installation process. Netinstall ISOs needs an active internet connection to download packages during install stage, no differences between physical and virtual machines for that. So make sure you provided that too. Bye.

I just installed Virtual BOX to run linux labs. I am running into the issue, when I download Ubuntu or Kali .ISO or .OVA file extensions these files appear as if they were PDF files - so VM does not recognize them. Any suggestions towards correcting this scenario is appreciated.
View of a .OVA download
I am not sure about .ova files but you can try downloading the Ubuntu ISO file from here.
Also, are you correctly using the ISO file in Virtual box by going to the VM -> Settings -> Storage and then clicking on the disk icon besides controller, that should open the file explorer and give you the option to add the ISO file.
Sorry I can't use comments just yet, (which is where I think this should be) however, if you're using windows 10, there's Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL for short. Its extremely simple to install and may be able to accomplish your needs. Lots of great features if you have the latest dev build of windows 10 like reading ext4 filesystem's and making them available to windows.
As for the original issue, I'm not sure I 100% understand what you mean by opening them as PDFs, but it sounds like maybe its a matter of changing the default program for those file extensions in your windows settings. Have you tried right click->open with on the files in question ?
Had not seen the picture at first... Yes this is a default program issue. You can do as I suggested with right click, or go to settings->Apps->default Apps->choose default apps by file type

This is part of a migration from Vista to Windows7. I now have a dual boot computer, with Win7 the preferred OS. From time to time I might need to go back to Vista to see how the things were configured there and then I will need to go back to Win7 to configure/install the same app there.
This is a computer that had very complex settings and it was difficult and risky to upgrade in place, to install Win7 over Vista.
In order to avoid countless reboots I would like to be able to always run Win7 and when I need I would like to be able to fire up VMWare Workstation and to start a Vista Machine that would have as HDD the physical HDD where currently Vista resides. I would expect the VMWare machine to run the OS installed on that HDD and I would expect Vista no to see that the hardware changed. My apps are not hardware dependent.
Is this possible?
Its possible and there are a few ways you could go about doing this.
The Easy Way
VMware Desktop allows you to use your existing partition/Disk to boot from only if its an IDE Disk.
https://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_disk_dualboot.html
The hard way
You can capture the Windows Vista OS as an .wim image with Windows Deployment Tool ImageX.exe. Then use other tools to create a bootable ISO. You would have to update the image though every time you feel there are a lot of changes made in Vista you want to see in VMware.

I love some Mac OSX developer applications such as Coda. But I run Windows on my desktop, and Mac OS X on my laptop. My question is simple, can I run Mac OS X applications individually on the Windows platform - without having to run a whole virtual Mac OS X machine?
It is more than possible. OSx86 documents it pretty well, but then you need to dual boot to get into OSX and that is lees than ideal. I don't know what Goz means by flakey, OSX on a PC is identical to Mac, better sometimes (you have proper control of the underlying hardware, and are able to use BIOS to tailor it to your needs)
Natively? Like Wine? Unfortunately no, mainly because 99% of Mac apps aren't built againsy Mach-O only, they are built against Cocoa and all the other higher level code that Apple works very hard to protect. There are even device drivers built into every install of OSX that decrypt encrypted parts of Finder, iWork and various other 1st party Apps incase anyone was ever successful in natively emulating OSX and its frame works (see DontStealMacOSX.kext)
No you can't. Even a whole virtual MacOSX machine will be flakey as hell ...
If they are both in a network you could access your mac laptop using VNC, you need to enable sharing in your mac preferences and then use a VNC client on your windows machine.
But this seems like non-ideal solution.
It would be much easier to do the opposite and run windows as a virtual machine under OSX. You could even import your current windows desktop into a virtual machine with Parallels.
