Computer question

[eatskisleep]

Question for someone who has experience with setting up a virtual machine. I need to reformat the C drive, but is this only formatting the C drive on the virtual machine or will it screw up my current C drive on my real PC and delete everything.

I'm not expert on VM, but I'd see what other commands are available (HELP) and see if you can get a directory or file listing on the c drive you're about to format.

run the dir command on the C drive and see what you have, my guess, is that it's the VM C drive. If it's your regular computer C drive you will see full listings of files on that.

Yep it is the VM's C drive... Thanks more questions soon to follow...

What OS are you planning to run on the VM? I'm working on a vintage setup right now. DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11. I'll probably setup a Win 98 VM as well. Gotta be able to run the legacy apps!

XP Pro still beats the s#!t out of Vista, on which MS Virtual PC is not officially supported. I haven't run into any issues yet, though.

Time to return to Linux, methinks. I get more and more sick of Windows every day. Things just haven't been the same since Win 98! Best GUI OS ever!

most of the equipment i work with is hardly supported with vista. my cuz was looking to buy a new laptop last night and told me the bumped the xp downgrade up to a 125. vista is great for a never ever user but for a power user that really needs to configure your system multiple ways it just dont work. how could they take out the ability to have multple system profiles?
