Sources I have discovered are. Unfortunately, the description of the images either does not state if the image is 64 or 32Bit or it says the image is 32Bit.

I also tried an image without the statement and it turned out to be 32Bit. The easiest way to get an Ubuntu image for VMWare is to install one yourself. It will be quicker than the download of the image as well. Goto Ubuntu. You cannot use VMWare Player with the images, released on these sites. They're made just for VMWare Workstation.

VirtualBox may pop up a message about 'Auto capture keyboard' option. Read the message there and check 'Do not show this message again' option before clicking OK. Now you shall see a 'Welcome' screen. Click 'Install Ubuntu' button. Note that the installation process may differ a little bit from version to version. The screenshots here are based on Ubuntu Click 'Continue' button. Make sure 'Erase disk and install Ubuntu' option is selected and click 'Install Now' button.

Ubuntu will ask you a few questions. If the default is good, click 'Continue' button. In 'Who are you? The installation will continue until it is finished. After installation is complete, click 'Restart Now' button.

When you see a screen with a black background saying 'Please remove installation media and close the tray if any then press ENTER:', just follow it. Enter the password you have chosen and press 'Enter'. The Ubuntu Desktop OS is ready. You may find the desktop screen is too small. Don't worry. You can solve this easily with "VirtualBox Guest Additions". Ubuntu should load into the little window and you will have the option to try Ubuntu or install Ubuntu. A list of pre-requisites will be displayed.

Basically, you need to make sure your machine has enough power i. You also have the option of downloading updates whilst installing and to install third party software. If you have a good internet connection check the download updates option otherwise untick it and leave the updates to install at a later point post installation.

Check the install third party software option as it will allow you to play MP3 audio and watch Flash videos.

The next step lets you decide how to install Ubuntu. As you are using a virtual machine select the Erase disk and install Ubuntu option. Do not worry. This will not erase your physical hard drive. It will just install Ubuntu in the virtual hard drive created earlier on. A message will appear showing you the changes that will be made to your disk.

Again this is only your virtual hard drive and so it is safe to click Continue. You will now be required to choose where you live.

You can either select the place on the map or type it into the box available. Now choose a username and enter a password to associate with that user. The other options are to log in automatically or require a password to log in. You can also choose to encrypt your home folder. As it is a virtual machine you may as well go for the Log in automatically option but we recommend always selecting the Require my password to log in.

You have the option to save the machine state, send the shutdown signal or power off the machine. Choose power off the machine and click OK. Click on the storage option and then click on IDE and choose the little circle with a plus symbol icon which adds a new optical drive.

An option will appear asking you to choose which disk to insert into the optical drive. Click on the Choose disk button. Click on the CD icon at the bottom of the launcher panel on the left and make sure there are files for VirtualBox Guest Additions.

When the virtual machine restarts choose the View menu and select Full-Screen Mode. A message will appear telling you that you can toggle between full screen and windowed mode by holding down the right CTRL key and F. You should now have successfully installed Ubuntu as a virtual machine on Windows Then create a new for the virtual machine and location to store it.

The default is fine. Next, set the maximum disk size to use and click Next. Finally, click Finish to complete the guest machine creation. After that a new guest machine should be ready to install the operating system of your choice. Save the settings and start the virtual machine… When the virtual machine boots up, you should see Ubuntu installation screen as shown below…. Option 2 Something else — is to perform a custom installation… for advanced users… You can choose to encrypt Ubuntu and use other advanced settings… but for new users and students, select the first option and continue..

Do you still want to proceed with this installation?
