Installing Ubuntu in a VM on Windows
Download the Ubuntu iso (desktop not server) and the free VMware Player.
Install VMware Player and run it, you’ll see something like this:
Select “Create a New Virtual Machine”
Select “Installer disc image file” and browse to the Ubuntu iso you downloaded.
VMware Player Virtual Machine WizardYou should see that it will use Easy Install – this takes care of most of the hard work for you. Click next
Enter your full name, username and password and hit next

Select the maximum disk size and type. Unless you’re planning on some really CPU intensive work inside the VM, select the “Split virtual disk into multiple files” option. Hit next when you’re happy with the settings.

In the hardware options section select the amount of memory you want the VM to use. In this instance I’ve gone for 1.5GB out of the 8GB installed in my laptop. Leave everything else as it is and click Close.

One of the easiest methods to test Ubuntu is to install it on VMware Workstation. You get all the benefits of having Ubuntu installed but none of the hassles attributed to the process, because it’s all happening in a safe virtual environment.

Prerequisities for installing Ubuntu on VMware Workstation:
VMware Workstation that you can download from FileForum.

There are two methods to set up a new virtual machine on VMware and we are going to choose the less complicated of the them — that is “Typical (recommended)”.
