Virtual PC on XP - windows-xp

Is there a version of Virtual PC 6 that i can run on XP? And where can i download it from?
Like thisone: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx, but this is only for windows 7.

It's available on Microsoft's website
This site has an archived version.

Try Virtual Box or VMWare.
Virtual Box is free, you can download it from: http://www.virtualbox.org/

Yes, there is a version of Virtual PC 6 which runs on XP, although it looks like it was removed from microsoft.com download area. But you can still try to download it from here.

CentOS 8 Pane is dead VMware Workstation 15.5

I am using VMware Workstation 15.5 and trying to install CentOS 8. When I boot and it starts the installer it gives me a message on the
bottom "Pane is dead". I tried to set "install operating system later", picked CentOS 7, selected ISO as the CD ROM device and attempted the install.
Unfortunately VMware does not pick up the boot device as ISO and goes right to DHCP boot. So I tried a CentOS 7 ISO, same thing. I just upgraded VMware Workstation from 15.0 to 15.5.
I finally find a solution to this problem.
You need to download your CentOS 8 iso.
Open VMware and create a virtual machine like normal, editing as you want, and don't worry if VMware detects it as CentOS 5 or
earlier, just keep ongoing.
Launch your VM and wait, if it shows you the "Pane is dead" just turn off the virtual machine.
Open de settings of your VM and just remove the disk "Using the autoinst.iso"
Open again your virtual machine and the problem probably will be fixed.

Operating System not found on VMWare Pro 2015

I attempt to install WinXP file on vmware using iso file with all settings below:
image1
However, when running, the console tells me that Operating System not found
image2.
I also check "connect at power on", reboot the VMware but no effect. Can you tell me what the problem is and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
File provided by link in comment is ServicePack 2 for Windows XP - it's not media with operating system. VMware shows truth on console, because it's not operating system, but package with updates for Windows XP. Conclusion: you have to download bootable operating system media.
In addition even if you will find any bootable media you have to remember, that you must pay for license key. Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, but it is not freeware product.

Run OS installed on external drive in windows

I have an external hard drive connected to my computer via USB cable with Linux OS installed on it.
Is there a way that i can run this Linux while using Windows?
Like in virtual machine or something like that?
You can but you'll need to download a good enough emulator not small ones such as Bochs.Then configure the settings of the emulator such that it boots up the USB drive.Let me know which emulator you'd be using and I will help you setup if I know.
Yes you can. You'll need to download Oracle VM VirtualBox and use that. Its very easy to use. Just after you set up the Virtual machine you'll need to tell it to boot from usb.

How can I install, or run, a Mac-version of MATLAB on Parallels' virtual Windows platform?

Adam Lewis answered, "I have switched to running Matlab on Parallels Desktop on my 2008 Mac Book Pro and have Zero issues". I have been unable to get a Mac-version of MATLAB v.7x to either install, or to run as a Mac program within Windows, on Parallels v7 virtual Windows7Prof, on my 13" MacBook Air.
Does it require a PC-version of MATLAB for the virtual machine?
Yes, it requires a Windows version.
If you install any software on a Virtual Machine, that software needs to be compatible with the guest OS (Windows in this case).
A virtual machine is exactly what it says: a virtual machine. So for any software, it will seem as if it's running on a real machine with that configuration (OS, CPU, RAM, ...). It doesn't really matter what the host machine is: that could be a Windows, Mac or Linux host or even your toaster.
Yes, if you plan to run MATLAB on a Windows virtual machine, you need the Windows version of MATLAB.
... But consult a local expert for help. Installing the Mac version of MATLAB should be effortless.

Run Internet Explorer 9 on Windows Xp Professional for testing purposes?

I want to test my web application on Internet Explorer 9 but I don't want to buy a copy of Vista/Win 7 on my developer machine with Windows XP.
Anyone knows a workaround, free and easy?
Use another machine.
Or better, get a set of Virtual Machines established which have an array of operating systems and browsers installed. Build enough VMs, and you are covered for all eventualities, regardless of whether you would personally use them or not.

You can't. The closest you'll get is IE9Preview.
I've found that IETester is not a bad way to quickly switch between browser versions for testing.

You can try running Wine on windows.
This will let you emulate a newer version of Windows
However, it will be really buggy (not mentioning how Wine is already buggy)
Its a unix/linux application ported for Windows
