Software capable of packaging files into an cd (ISO) image, such as Folder2Iso (freeware).Software capable of packaging files into a floppy disk image (may end in FLV, IMA, etc), such as WinImage (30 day free trial).An instance of DOS 6.22 running in a virtual machine.When that’s done, power off the virtual machine.

#Windows 2000 iso vm install#

I decided this week to install Windows 3.1 on a virtual machine. Like the fact that the pen drive in my pocket is 10x bigger than the largest hard drives 15 years ago. $ qemu-system-i386 -hda windows2000.qcow2 -cdrom EN_WIN2000_PRO_SP4.Every once in awhile it’s interesting in a nerdy way to check out some legacy technology and… I dunno… reminisce about the old days and how far we’ve come or some crap like that. Repeat the process of downloading, unpacking, and copying over the ISO:Īnd use the non-booting command substituting the application ISO for the Windows 2000 ISO: Lets say you wanted to try Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation: To boot QEMU with an ISO in but not booting, specify drive 'c' after -boot: $ qemu-system-i386 -hda windows2000.qcow2 -cdrom EN_WIN2000_PRO_SP4.ISO -boot c -m 1024 -vga cirrus -localtime

I recommend keeping the ISO around for drivers you may need, like a network card. To proceed anyways: $ qemu-system-i386 -hda windows2000.qcow2 -boot c -m 1024 -vga cirrus -localtime -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user There are known exploits for older operating systems in the wild that have not been patched and never will be. I do not recommend this without security software in place. It is possible to add a network card to your QEMU install and access the internet from your VM. You can enlarge the display by increasing the display resolution: Then we install Windows 2000 on our hard drive after formatting the blank 'C' drive inside windows2000.qcow2: This command runs the i386 QEMU emulator, assigns windows2000.qcow2 as "hda" or Hard Drive 'A', the first hard drive, assigns our ISO as a cdrom, tells QEMU to boot from the cdrom, assigns 1024 MB, or 1 GB, or RAM to the emulator, we specify the Cirrus virtual graphics card, and to use the system clock as local time, not GMT. This means we need to be booting from the CDROM: $ qemu-system-i386 -hda windows2000.qcow2 -cdrom EN_WIN2000_PRO_SP4.ISO -boot d -m 1024 -vga cirrus -localtime Next we will boot QEMU with settings for installation. Your path may vary based on your username and ISO location. In my case this was: $ cp /mnt/c/Users/Hayden/Downloads/Microsoft\ Windows\ 2000\ Professional\ (.6717.sp4)/EN_WIN2000_PRO_SP4.ISO. Move your Windows 2000 ISO over to your WSL container for maximum performance: qcow2 is the native image format of QEMU, the type of file we are creating, so qcow2 makes a useful extension. The initial file size of windows2000.qcow will be <1MB because it is expandable, the file size will increase as you write more data to the image, up to the maximum of 5GB we set. Qemu-img will create an VM hard drive image file named windows2000.qcow with a maximum capacity of 5GB. Next we need to create a virtual hard drive to install Windows onto, a C:\ drive: $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 windows2000.qcow2 5G Install QEMU in Ubuntu on WSL: $ sudo apt install qemu You may need 7-Zip for working with 7z files on Windows or you can use 7za on the command line in WSL. On WSL2: $ echo "export DISPLAY=$(cat /etc/nf | grep nameserver | awk ''):0.0" >. Install and run an X client on Windows like X410, VcXsrv, or Xming and configure your DISPLAY variable in WSL. Install Ubuntu on WSL if you have not done so already.

QEMU runs on both WSL and WSL2 on Windows 10. As I have mentioned here before QEMU is a great way to emulate old hardware to explore vintage operating systems.
