03   Quad Boot - Windows
     2000 - XP - Vista - 7 

Too much idle time has led to this quad boot 4.9GB VirtualBox VHD that boots 4 Windows versions (zipped size 1.7GB).

The Windows versions booting in the VHD are:
  • Windows 2000 Super Nano Lite by Alexey
  • Windows XP Performance Edition 2009
  • Tiny Vista Rev 02 by eXPerience
  • Windows Tiny 7 by eXPerience
Apart from changing desktop backgrounds most versions are as found except for Windows 2000 where I added a VGA driver as the screen resolution was very low.

I've not installed any other missing drivers or Guest Additions so some updating may be needed - I'll leave that to you.

Both Vista and Windows 7 run fine with 2GB of RAM allocated - Vista uses 255mb at idle and Windows 7 uses 341mb.

The VHD was created in VirtualBox 6.1.26 and all OS versions are 32 bit.

I wanted to get the total VHD size to under 4GB, but both the Vista and Windows 7 installs are a little too large to let that happen.

If anyone has a smaller version of Vista and Windows 7 than eXPerience's (both 699mb ISOs), please let me know via the IA.
