I've got ubuntu 10.0.4 to install but i cannot run it on virtual pc 2007

Please tell:
where do have you downloaded the iso image...?
have you made an md5sum of the iso image before to install it into the virtual pc...?
Please tell the virtual software you are using on which operative system...?

Thank you

It is in C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Virtual Hard Drives & I am using Windows Vista SP2.

Please tell:
where do have you downloaded the iso image...?
have you made an md5sum of the iso image before to install it into the virtual pc...?

What's a md5sum?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM

"First open a terminal and go to the correct directory to check a downloaded iso file:" I don't understand what terminal?

Are you using Windows or Ubuntu now...?

Is md5sum a software?

What do you mean as host? Windows

Checksum is different i downloaded ubuntu 10.04 for desktop through the ubuntu website.

please answer me are you using windows now... so terminal here have no sense... please install and use
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM on Windows

Then check the md5sum of your downloaded iso and then compare the md5sum number with this:

http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/MD5SUMS

if it doesn't match please download the iso image using torrent protocol from here (install a .torrent client):

First please install a torrent client i sugget you to install Deluge on win http://deluge-torrent.org/

Then download the iso http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

The checksum is the same.

ok so please try to install virtualbox in windows http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and install the ubuntu on a virtual pc.

Is there another way without using another emulator.

sure install it in dual boot mode... as all the win user do...

i do not want to install another emulator so is there another way to solve this problem?

Greetings;

I have this exact same issue, with one major difference. I am running Win7 on an AMDx64 with Virtual PC 2007. I get this exact same error message. I have done the checksum, and tried it from the live CD. I get the splash screen for Ubuntu, then it goes dark and this error pops up. I do not want duel boot. I want this as a virtual machine. I have tried both the AMD64 version and the 32 bit version. The 32 bit is the one that shows this error. The 64 bit version tells me it only see's me as an i686 ... ?? I have an AMD64 - why is it seeing me as an i686?

Help!

WoooHoooo! Naturally right after I post this and try ONE MORE TIME - the 32 bit version is working. I turned off hardware virtualization and made the CDROM appear as though it is connected to the primary IDE and not the secondary (as is the Virtual pc default). It is currently running its installation....

please close this question if it is solved
