I am trying to install Ubuntu on windows using Oracle VM virtual Box from an ISO disk image.When I try to install, the installer gives a prompt that " The computer currently has no operating systems" I am wondering if this should have detected my windows operating system or is it just trying to detect Operating systems within the virtual Box.
The reason being it gives only two options to install
--Erase disk and install Ubuntu
-- Resize partition for Ubuntu
I do not want to erase all files on my windows operating system. Does anybody know what does the 'disk' in the discussion mean>
The installer is looking for OS installations on the disk in the VM, not the host machine. You are perfectly safe selecting Erase disk and install Ubuntu, and in most situations in a VM, that is the correct choice.

My laptop used to come with windows 10, but then I decided to install ubuntu on it instead. Now I would like to install windows 10. Is there way to get windows 10 back?
First you will need a bootable USB - a USB flash drive that has at least 16GB of space (there are free programs that you will find available on internet to make the USB bootable), download Windows 10 ISO file and add to the USB.
Alter the BIOS sequence on your PC so your USB device is first. In most instances, the BIOS will usually not be automatically set to your device. If you skip this step, your computer will start regularly from your hard drive instead of getting boot information from your USB device, then follow the steps to install the windows OS.

I am planning to compile and run code in a linux environment. Before moving to a linux environment I want to try it out, virtual box and dual boot will take my memory. So, after updating my windows 10 anniversary updates, I was able to install bash (ubuntu) natively to my windows 10 through windows features. After installing bash when I try to run bash it's popping and closing a windows immediately. how can I solve this. I tried this with two pc, no luck. How can I solve this issue. Which registry file should I change ?
Turn your windows to developer mode, go to settings -> search for developer, then change to developer mode. Restart your pc. It should work now

I've recently reinstalled my laptop. I have a ,main machine which has all the programs install files on. Before i reinstalled the laptop i was able to access the shares on the machine fine, after the reinstall it keeps telling me that i don't have permission. Previously it would ask for the pcs username/password but its not doing that. Other machines are still able to access the shares fine, and i can remote desktop it from the laptop but not connect to the shares. The pc shows up under networks. The PC is running winows 7 and the laptop windows 10. I can access the laptop fine from the pc but not the other way around.
I get "You do not have permission to access \PC"
Turns out it was something to do with a windows update. Once windows had updated on the laptop it connected fine

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.

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 want to start working with Teradata database and for that I need to setup it on my system. After searching a lot I didn't find any setup which I can use to install it on windows machine. The only link I found was http://www.teradata.com/teradata-express-13-0-windows/ this one but there is no download link on this page. I have also found the VMware version to use Teradata on 64-bit windows on this link http://downloads.teradata.com/download/database/teradata-express/vmware but I am not sure how to install this using VMware after downloading the setup.
Please provide some help for installing Teradata on 32 windows or 64 windows using VmWare.
Have you read this article on Teradata's Developer Exchange? It should cover the basics of getting the VMware environment up and running.

You may wish to change the runlevel of SLES to boot to the command line instead of the Gnome desktop to reduce the memory footprint of the VM. You will want to dedicate 4GB of RAM to the VM as well.
