Hi,
you could try this:
1) Get the free VMWare Player from http://www.vmware.com/download/player/
2) Store the ISO image file somewhere on a Windows accessible hard drive
3) save this code in a .vmx file
Code:
## VM starts from a CD image
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "4"
displayName = "Knoppix_VM"
guestOS = "other"
memsize = "160"
ide1:0.present = "TRUE"
ide1:0.fileName = "c:\path\isoimage.iso"
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
4) Open the .vmx in VMWare Player
works like a charm.... Don't forget to set your path in the line starting with ide1:0.fileName =
Best Regards,
marx

uh i have no idea how to do this.. t.t
how do i make a VMX file?
and what ISO file?
-
1) .vmx is the file format used by the virtual machine player
2) the procedure should work for all bootable cd images
3) ISO is an image file of a cdrom. (that you can download and could burn to a CD - but in this case you don't even need to burn it
it runs much faster from the hard drive!!)
Hope this helps...
Best Regards,
marx

Almost right.
Open a texteditor, paste the code.
Save file as -> "your_filename.vmx"
In that way you "make" a .vmx file.

--Download the Knoppix .iso from ftp-site
--Download Vmware Player
--Use Easyvmx online to create .vmx ; point VM's cdrom to knoppix .iso on your HD
--Start Vmware Player
--Point Player to your .vmx
--Knoppix will boot in the VM
