    Around 20 gigs. Its suprisingly small for Windows. Of course Ubuntu was like 6 and I think OSX is even less.

    The OS directory on my comp only uses 11GB. Im sure there are other things necessary to run it on a VM though.

    Actually, YOU were the 2,000th Post in the thread on the 199th Page I believe. At least, that's what it says on my comp.

    How are you guys even able to get this stuff? Like Dual-Booting another OS? Don't you need the CD for that?

    I know for Ubuntu you don't but I could be wrong.

    You just burn the image to a dvd/rw and then run the install within the VM. In virtual box's case it asks for the disk and does the rest for you.

    Or for a dual boot you just burn to a DVD and run it or mount the ISO on a virtual drive and run it.

    No I was the first post on the 200th page and the 1,999th post in this thread, Nitros was the 2,000th.

    And to dual boot you need to partition your hard disk accordingly with the OS(s) your going to install.

    He is running Windows Vista, with Windows 7 (Left) and Linux Ubuntu (Right) running in a Virtual Machine.

    Ohh, the OS is Windows XP but the icon dock, I'm pretty sure, is Rocketdock.

    And Hari/Nitrous, I VM'd W7 and had no end of trouble with drivers as I did in the Beta, my graphics card, sound card, and ethernet controller all won't install. (Pics in spoiler)

    And it uses 22.2GB on a fresh install:

    go to the website of the manufacturer of your hardware and look for windows 7 drivers. Most have them. If not, run the .exe driver files in XP Compatibility Mode.

    I'll try that later, thanks. I'm not sure if it's because I'm running it in a VM? Idk.
