創建Windows 7虛擬機 (Creating a Windows 7 Virtual Machine)

To see all you can configure in it, you should open your Virtual Machines folder,? select your new virtual machine and right click it to select Settings.

要查看其中可以配置的所有內容，應打開“虛擬機”文件夾，選擇新的虛擬機，然后右鍵單擊以選擇“設置”。

Now you will see you have two options to load your Windows 7 installation files.

現在，您將看到兩個選擇來加載Windows 7安裝文件。

You can load your installation DVD on your PC and select in the DVD drive menu Access a physical drive as shown in the picture below:

您可以將安裝DVD加載到PC上，然后在DVD驅動器菜單中選擇訪問物理驅動器，如下圖所示：

Or you can select Open an ISO image if you have a .iso copy of the installation DVD in your computer:

或者，如果計算機中有安裝DVD的.iso副本，則可以選擇“打開ISO映像”：

Once you have selected your installation option, you can double click on the virtual machine and it will start and it will load your installation files.

選擇安裝選項后，可以雙擊虛擬機，虛擬機將啟動并加載您的安裝文件。

After loading the installation files, you should configure your language options.

加載安裝文件后，應配置語言選項。

Whenever you click on the virtual machine window, Virtual PC will let you know that the mouse will be captured by the virtual machine and will also show you how to release the mouse to use it on your host operating system again.

每當您單擊虛擬機窗口時，Virtual PC都會讓您知道鼠標將被虛擬機捕獲，并且還將向您顯示如何釋放鼠標以再次在主機操作系統上使用它。

You can now click on Install now.

您現在可以單擊立即安裝。

You can select whether you want to make a custom installation or an upgrade. Since you won′t have any previous operating systems installed, you should select Custom.

您可以選擇要進行自定義安裝還是升級。 由于您將沒有安裝任何以前的操作系統，因此應選擇“自定義”。

Select the drive where to install the virtual machine. You can also select Drive options for more advanced configuration settings.

選擇要在其中安裝虛擬機的驅動器。 您也可以選擇“驅動器選項”以獲得更多高級配置設置。

On the Drive options menu, you will see options for formatting the drive, creating or deleting partitions, change the partition size, etc..

在“驅動器選項”菜單上，您將看到用于格式化驅動器，創建或刪除分區，更改分區大小等的選項。

Once you click on Next, the installation process will begin.

單擊下一步后，安裝過程將開始。

After the installation has finished, your virtual machine will start for the very first time.

安裝完成后，虛擬機將首次啟動。

When the operating system has loaded, you will be seeing a toolbar on the upper side of the window. Select Tools and click on Install Integration Components.

加載操作系統后，您將在窗口上方看到一個工具欄。 選擇工具，然后單擊安裝集成組件。

It will ask you to install the Integration Components as shown below.

它將要求您安裝集成組件，如下所示。

It will open a virtual DVD drive from where you should choose to run the setup file.

它將打開一個虛擬DVD驅動器，您應從中選擇運行安裝文件的位置。

This will open the Integration Components wizard that will integrate your virtual machine with your host operating system.

這將打開“集成組件”向導，該向導會將您的虛擬機與主機操作系統集成在一起。

You will see that while it installs the integration components, the virtual pc will begin to recognize your devices and install the drivers.

您會看到，在安裝集成組件時，虛擬PC將開始識別您的設備并安裝驅動程序。

It will ask you to restart your system for the configuration changes to take effect.

它將要求您重新啟動系統以使配置更改生效。

After rebooting, if the Integration Components have not been automatically activated, you can go to Tools and enable them.

重新引導后，如果尚未自動激活集成組件，則可以轉到工具并啟用它們。

After enabling the Integration Components, you will see all the devices connected to your host operating system in the new USB menu from where you can attach them and use them as if they were connected to your virtual machine.

啟用集成組件后，您將在新的USB菜單中看到連接到主機操作系統的所有設備，從那里您可以連接它們并像將它們連接到虛擬機一樣使用它們。

You will also see a new View Full Screen option and you can now enable Aero and other features.

您還將看到一個新的全屏查看選項，現在可以啟用Aero和其他功能。

If you want to select what other features you want to integrate between your host computer and your virtual machine, you can go to the virtual machine Settings and select them from the Integration Components menu.

如果要選擇要在主機計算機和虛擬機之間集成的其他功能，則可以轉到虛擬機設置，然后從集成組件菜單中選擇它們。
