You need VMware. VMware allows you to create a 'virtual machine' on your guest computer. This isn't an emulation of an operating system at all! It creates a thread and isolates hardware access. Then it just lets the guest operating sytem run as normal. The guest has no idea (or little idea) ... Read More
