I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate from Home Premium to help me study towards my MCTS qualification. I have two questions in regards to the Virtual PC feature of Ultimate, which I hope someone here knows... lol
Naturally I know that i'd probs be best off using something like server 2008, but as I can't acquire that it's the next best thing.
1)
How would I access the VHD for a virtual machine *without* launching that virtual machine itself?
2)
I created a virtual machine, and began installing Ubuntu from an ISO image though this took ages I finally managed to install it. Unfortuently however Ubuntu takes ages to load, runs very sluggishly and for some reason doesn't want to recognise my router or internet connection.
I know you'll probs tell me to do a dual-boot or something, though I wish to be able to access linux and learn from it as I see fit. So any help with actually fixing the connectivity and sluggishness issues would be appreciated. Or unless there is a better Linux package out there that could be suggested.
