Thanx for the tip on Ubuntu and Windows virtual PC. I still have a few questions. How does your PC work when you have two operational systems installed. Do they crash more often or are there any more troubles? What about the hardware resources? Can it run say on Celeron 700 Mhz? And RAM 500?

I appreciate your post. I also wrote that SMS advertising provides a cost effective method of targeting promotions to specific customer profiles. You might want to remind customers of specific events or promotions, but for whatever reasons, SMS allows you to pass information directly to the right customer at very affordable prices and fast delivery. iso 9000

Using the steps posted in the link above, the installation actually works without disabling “hardware virtualization” … or at least it worked for me. Still, I prefer to use VM Linux only for support interface or (if needed) if someone wants to hire a Dedicated Virtual Server. Otherwise nothing beats a proper installation of any OS directly on the hardware.

Re:“An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered”.
To fix I disabled “hardware virtualization” and all worked OK.

The problem is hardware-assisted virtualization. You must disable it in order to install ubuntu. My system is windows Xp sp3 and i am using virtual pc 2007. none of the other solutions posted above worked and this was the only remedy i could find. Check the settings for your virtual machine, go to hardware virtualization and disable it. vga=791 did not work for me from the installation boot screen. instead i will try to update menu.lst immediately after ubuntu installation.

which of course is absolutely no help at all because no one actually knows what that even means.

f4 is not “alternate boot” it is “modes” you get three choices only: normal, insert floppy, or oem. no option to add boot modifiers. God I hate Linux. This is the perennial problem. The video driver system is incredibly hopeless. No one with anything but the most simple vanilla systems has any prayer of makeing the thing work because the entire system is a kludged together crapfest. And it’s getting worse not better.

“An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered.
The virtual machine will reset now.”

Thanks for the good guide, I managed to get Ubuntu 9.10 running with this guide. The only thing is that I can’t get Virtual Machine Additions installed, since the ISO it loads has only Windows files. I was wondering if you knew how I could add the Virtual Machine Additions for file-sharing. Thanks.

I was able to install Ubuntu on MS Virtual PC 2007 SP1 without any fuss. Some notes and screen-shots here:
