Setting Up A Virtual Machine, in VMware Workstation 6.5
I decided to make this guide to help out many users that are unsure what a Virtual Machine (from now on referred to as "VM") is and how it can really help them.
For those that don't know, a VM is just like it says, a Virtual Machine, or a program, that emulates a whole computer, with it, you can run just about any operating system inside your current operating system (from now on referred to as "OS").
Ok, let's get started, first, you will need the following: VMware Workstation
Any operating system install disc (i will be using an image i made of a windows XP Service Pack 3 disk) <- not required unless you want to actually USE your new VM
Alright, onto the setup of a New VM, i will assume you have installed one of the above versions of VMware Workstation (now referred to as "VMW")
Step 1. Load up VMW and at the following window, select New Virtual Machine (Ctrl+N will work)
