What version of Windows can Windows xp isofor virtualbox use then, to mount as an ISO file with VirtualBox? Cheers Andy Posted by Andy Hall on November 11, 2009 at 06:36 PM PST Thanks for the clarification, Andy.
Where did you see these files?You can create an ISO of an XP install disk (with later SPs), but the subsequent updates etc still need to be done via Windows Update.Anywhere you see offering Vista, XP or 7 beyond the main 'service packs' are not legit sources of installation media and may well have malicious content baked in.I saw these examples:-(Windows 7, 8.1 and 10) 44 in one iso-(Windows 7 and 8.1) 29 in one iso-(Windows Vista x86 and x64) all in one isoWindows XP doesn't have 'install.wim' file. Can I do it without 'install.wim' file?

Only use ISOs from official sources.

That is very likely pirated material (not legit). Tom's Hardware does not support any form of software piracy.
Period.Just because it 'works' does not mean you should use it.Just for saving free space in the HDD. For Example Windows Vista iso files (estimated file size):Windows Vista Starter x86 2 GBWindows Vista Home Basic x86 2 GBWindows Vista Home Premium x86 2 GBWindows Vista Business x86 2 GBWindows Vista Ultimate 2 GBWindows Vista Home Basic x64 3 GBWindows Vista Home Premium x64 3 GBWindows Vista Business x64 3 GBWindows Vista Ultimate 3 GBTotal 22 GBWindows Vista x86 Aio File Size: 2,76 GBWindows Vista x64 Aio File Size: 3,45 GBWhould you rather 6,21 GB File or 22 GB File? Everything is same, only file size is different.
I have Windows 7 Professional hosting Ubuntu inside VirtualBox for my development machine. To test my site, I run Internet Explorer and hit my Ubuntu box. This works great for Internet Explorer 8, the default browser on this Windows machine.I also want to run another VM with a copy of Windows XP with Internet Explorer 6 or Internet Explorer 7.Where can I download files of old copies of Windows XP? I've looked in and these only run in /XP Mode which won't run while VirtualBox is running.If I have to run VirtualBox (can't work without Ubuntu running the site), is there any way to test Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 from the same Windows 7 machine?

– Journeyman GeekIf this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the, please. Windows XP is generally not available for download in ISO format from legitimate sources.All an ISO file is is a bit-for-bit image of a CD or DVD. You can make your own from most physical CD/DVDs using commonly available software including most CD/DVD authoring software. If you have a spare Windows XP CD and license, you can either use it to make an ISO and mount it in VirtualBox (or any other virtual machine software) or you can use the CD directly in the VM.However running a virtual OS merely to test the browser seems a bit like overkill. As pointed out by @Nifle, you may want to look at the answers to. @music2myear The software on the CD is Copyrighted. The license grants the licensee the right to use, but not copy, the software within certain fields of endeavor.
While making a backup copy for yourself is fine, posting that copy for all and sundry to download is not. Distributing ISOs of proprietary software is legally no different from taking a book and distributing free PDFs of it: both are Copyright infringement since the right of the Copyright holder to restrict copying is being ignored.–Jun 1 '11 at 22:55.
