    RC> It would help that you would know what a VM is.   
      
    RC> A VM is a emulated environment, what is being emulated is   
    RC> hardware, Hdd's are created using very big files, the VM   
    RC> borrows free memory from the host. A netbook has hardly the   
    RC> desired horsepower to run a VM.   
      
    What kinda specs does it take with XP?   
      
    RC> I am typing to you from inside a VM....   
      
    RC> Host OS: Windows 8.1 x64 Core i7 8gb ram   
      
    RC> VM emulator: Hyper-V   
      
    RC> Guest OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x86, 2 gb ram   
      
    RC> You can create bootable media to load a operating   
    RC> environment, in which they create a ram drive, which you   
    RC> know is volatile, most of these environments are intended   
    RC> as system rescue.

    gotten too far into it yet. Got lots of things to work on.
