Use Hyper-V With Linux Guests
Nov 5, 2009
Because Hyper-V has gained a lot of publicity lately and because I truly love the server virtualization products...i picked up a book on Hyper-V and have been reading through it and testing Hyper-V on a box under my desk.
Very first thing that caused massive grief: Trying to remotely administer Hyper V from a workstation on a Windows domain while the Hyper V server is on a workgroup is a real challenge. It took nearly an entire day to get this working and that was after using the HVRemote shortcut tool on the MSDN blogs. Now that I know how to do this, it only takes a few minutes but it sure is complicated for somebody doing it for the first time.
Next, my company does quite a lot with Linux virtual machines. From what I have seen, the only supported HyperV Linux guest OS's are SuSE and RHEL (only using emulated drivers). Of course, the emulated drivers don't provide the performance of their synthetic counterparts.
In addition, it seems that Linux guests are relegated to no smp support. So, it's 1 CPU only for any linux guest no integration services are supported, such as remote system shutdown and Time Synchronization or Heartbeat So, in closing, it's really hard to take this Hyper-V product seriously in the enterprise market with such limited support for any OS that isn't Windows. Looks like we will be sticking with VMWare ESX and ESXi for the forseeable future.
This posts here in the vmware blogs pretty much corroborates my feelings:

I just noticed when I was in a guest account that it is possible to shutdown the computer. Is this something that Microsoft did intentionally or is there a switch that disables this capability?

I dont mind C: being exposed but I'd like my data to be accessed only by me. D: is where I have some data. D: and C: are the same physical disk. E: and F: are USB Storage drives and also have my data. How can I do this?

Ive been working on the administrator account for more than 2 years, left it as it was yesterday. When I came back my account was assigned with guest authorization instead of administrator's. While I was working on my administrator account I disabled Super Administrator account and therefore now I am unable to log into it. My little brother account is just another guest account. So as far as I know there are two guests accounts somehow, 0 administrator accounts, and 1 super administrator account which is disabled. How can I restore my account to its previous settings?

Thinking of going with a push-pull set up for CM 212 Evo using the stock fan on one side. What's a good (preferably quiet) fan for the opposite side (pull)
Needs to be 120mm btw, the CM 212 Evo comes with mounting brackets to attach the fans either side.

I'm attempting to disabled Hyperthreading, but that option isn't in the BIOS. Two guides on disabling the "logical" cores require me to boot up "START" command, but what is that and how do I access it?Disable Hyperthreading in the Windows 7 registry - Super User
[URL]
Also, I want to set Team Fortress 2 to not use the HT cores, but the .exe file is non-existent and its files are apparently booted by Steam. I wanted to test if Team Fortress 2 and SimCity 4 (resource hogging singe-core) would improve with HT disabled. I also have an i7 720qm 1.6 GHz, which is the slowest i7 quad-core CPU.I tried to disable four "logical" cores through msconfig, but it also turned off two physical cores as well. I'd rather prefer quad core than dual core with HT.

I have a severe virtual problem. Going on in my home and I would like to turn the hyperthreading off in my laptop one is Hp and the other dell. I also have a hp desktop pc with amd... The other 2 have intel...all came with window 7 ....but for the life of me I can't access my hard drive. When I save somehing it saves. It in the ram...how screwed up and my browsers are horrible. The only way I have been able to halfway install a router is thru my screwed up browsers. None of my window 7 pcs seem to know how to configure a router.. I have a new hard drive for Hp desktop. I really hate to install it then I am stuck only accessing the virtual part. I recently installed a new hard drive in my laptop then it went all to hell after I installed seatools. Now I find out the hard drive I bought doesn't need utilities that it automatically installs it self. Too late now . I can't boot or install Windows. Not even linux will install.
I can't afford too lose another $100 on another hard drive. So it is possible to turn off the hyperthreading in the bios ...I just need to know how. I don't play games or watch tv on my pc so I really just need it to be able to email,internet, and music, a printer would be so nice. Its been so long since I have been able to use one. I hook up a printer but everytime samething always happens my pc. States the printer isn't mine and I can't use it. I will settle for the email,music and surfing the net.

[code] I was leaning towards the i7 because it seems to be the fastest processor for around $300.But apparently these new intel chips have sandy bridge which is a form of hyper threading.I'm just trying to figure out if I truly need the processor with hyper threading. I understand it basically turns the 4 cores into 8 virtual cores, but does it apply this speed to all computer programs and functions?I run 3 monitors and constantly doing multiple things including web design, graphic design etc.I also plan on maxing my ram at the 32gb the MOBO will allow to help this system run as fast as possible.

I have WinRAR and have extracted Windows XP Professional ISO file which I downloaded from school's MSDNAA's web site.
But I can't seem to locate one. Is there a way to obtain Windows XP equivalent (not 3rd party applications) of Hyper Terminal to use it for Windows 7 Ultimate x64?

I have a Gateway netbook pre-installed with Windows 7 Starter. In just 7 months it has got viruses and is full of error messages, not able to uninstall the programs causing this mess, and my web browser keeps redirecting me to alternate websites which I never typed on the address bar. I am sick and think about completely deleting the whole C disk from the Windows 7 (backup my files first) and try to replace Windows 7 with some type of free Linux OS. My netbook has no CD drive nor floppy disk drive, only USB drives. My questions are:
1. Can I really get rid of all the Windows 7 files already pre-installed?
2. Can I install and run Linux OS efficiently in my netbook?
3. How can I install Linux OS on my netbook from a USB flash drive?

i have had a startup registry file corrupt after restoring to factory defaults. this has forced me to re-install the os. my DATA partition is no longer mountable through linux but shows on the set up when i try to install to the DATA drive it states a file is corrupt on the disk that i burnt. my files are saved in a backup folder buts its 100GB ( i have no means of transferring or storing it). windows cannot repair the os: this is why im forced into a reinstall. how do i remount the partition from linux? how do i reinstall windows while keeping my files bearing in mind it does not function (assuming the above fails).

Does Windows 7 have anything like the Linux chroot?I have an application where some of the parameters lock up the system requiring a cold boot.I appear to be one of the very rare users with this problem.I'd like to run through more parameters to give the developers more specific information about what might be causing the problems. As you can understand, hitting a param and crashing can get tedious really quickly.I'm hoping there is a process that let's me isolate the app so when it crashes I can close it gracefully rather then cold booting.

Is there anyway to reformat a Linux partition on Windows 7? I know XP/Vista didnt recognize Linux Partitions as being a partition but 7 did as I was asked to select a partition to install on. Is there an easy way to reformat it without having to reinstall linux to uninstall back into NTFS?

will Windows 7 be the most secure operating system ever? Microsoft seem to think so. Microsoft's Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner made the following bold statement yesterday: Vista today, post-Service Pack 2, which is now in the marketplace, is the safest, most reliable OS we've ever built. It's also the most secure OS on the planet, including Linux and open source and Apple Leopard.
It's the safest and most secure OS on the planet today. Everything that we've learned in Vista will be leveraged in Windows 7, but certainly when we broke a lot of the compatibility issues to lock down user account controls, to lock do wn the ability to manipulate states and all the things, that was a very painful process for us to grow through, but we had to do it.
And the reason that Windows 7 will be successful is because of the pain we took on Vista. Because from a compatibility standpoint, if it works on Vista, it will work on Windows 7. If it doesn't work on Vista, it won't work on Windows 7.
I'm glad he stopped short of saying that Windows 7 will be the most secure operating system in the universe!

I have taken the sound advice of not partitioning, but rather load linux via USB. I have 2 brand new commercially produced Linux live CD's and they both freeze
I am told this could be result of ACPI.

I recently installed ubuntu as a duel boot between my win 7 installation, and I then reset the MBR, as I prefer the windows mbr.
Now, I cant boot into linux, so my question is: Is it possible to add ubuntu to the windows mbr manually, and if so, how?

I have windows 7 RC, windows vista, and linux mint running in a triple boot config. I don't really want to keep linux and was planning on installing the Retail version of Windows 7 once i buy it. However, while im booted in windows, i cannot see linux at all. I can only see the Windows 7 partition (C: ) and vista partition (D: ) under Computer.
But i can see it in Disk Management
The last two partitions are for linux.
So my question is, when i decide to install windows 7, will the windows 7 install disc see those linux partitions so i can delete them while installing Windows 7? You know the utility in the Windows 7 install disc that allows u to delete, format etc. partitions.

I was messing around re-arranging hardware. Since I rarely if ever TOUCH my Linux server I decided to connect 2 printers to it rather than a Windows box - I've been messing around with all sorts of hardware and software mods lately on Windows 7 to get the optimum mix.
So Printers are now on Linux server. Samba works 100% OK etc.
Now XP SP3 / XP 64 bit edition prints just fine from the Linux box.
Print of course works just fine on Native Linux server.
Windows 7 RTM x-64 just won't print -- gives all the correct indications - can even see print preview but nothing ever gets sent to the Linux queue. For BOTH printers.
I reverted back to RC version (only takes 10 - 15 mins to restore with decent imaging package like Acronis / Ghost etc).
Worked a treat.
Windows 7 RTM x-86 works as well but X-64 just vanishes in cyberspace accross the network somewhere.
Incidentally printers work natively on Windows 7 RTM x-64 so not a driver problem per se.
Any idea of where to look -- not sure if this is a SAMBA (3.05) or Windows problem. I'm running SUSE 11.1 64 bit version. - normally has no probs with networking whatsoever.
XP works (even a VM XP running on a Windows 7 X-64 host) - but it's a bit stupid to fire up a VM whenever I need to print.
(We have other computers users in the house sharing printers - but they still are on XP for the moment. I need to get this issue fixed before upgrading their machines).
