| − | == Hyper-V (comes with windows 8) ==
| + | Below are hopefully some useful tutorials: |
| − | with Hyper-V you can test reactos in a virtual machine on your windows 8 pc.
| |
| − | see also alternatives [[qemu]] or [[virtual box]]
| |
| | | | |
| − | first you have to add Hyper-V to your windows 8 installation. in explorer go to add/uninstall programs.
| + | '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHRPEEbtjNU Video Tutorial on Network Setup in VirtualBox]''' |
| − | on the left is: windows features activate. there you check the Hyper-V. easy.
| |
| − | | |
| − | now on the start page you will find 'Hyper-V manager'. make a link to desktop or start for easy use.
| |
| − | | |
| − | in hyper-v create a virtual machine. use the type 1 (no secure boot). remove the netcard and the scsi component. from the new virtual pc.
| |
| − | add a virtual disk 'hdd1.vdh' with 1GB and MBR-partition style. not use .vdhx.
| |
| − | important: in the virtual disk don't create a volume or drive letter, yet. don't format it yet.
| |
| − | add the reactos-install-iso as cd/dvd image to the VM.
| |
| − | | |
| − | start the VM .. it should boot from the install cd. you should see the light blue background.
| |
| − | in installer you create a big partition and format it with FAT. let the installer install a bootloader in VBR, not in MBR.
| |
| − | installation is fast. reboot from disk and enjoy.
| |
| − | reactos will find a ACPI device but not a driver. just click it away.
| |
| − | when you shutdown the VM you can mount/unmount the virtual disk in your windows 8 explorer. with right click und the hdd1.vdh. now you can copy/rename/delete files in your reactos installation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | the Hyper-V also allows kernel debugging. you create a pipe for the virtual com port.
| |
| − | it is the same like kernel debugging of a normal windows-VM. google kernel debugging with hyper-V.
