Google Chrome OS VHD
Yes, You read it right! VHD for all people that want to run Google’s latest innovation – The Chrome OS.
I have been looking for its ISO image, or something other that can work with Virtual PC. (I am a Microsoft Technology Guy). But after searching almost everything I found no information or downloads available for Chrome OS VHD. So, I kept trying on with workarounds and finally got it to work. So here is a how to get going with Chrome OS on Virtual PC.
STEP ONE: Go to http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os/download/ and download the Chrome OS image. You’ll have to register to download this image or if you have a Facebook ID you can login using that ID too. Once you get to download page just download the image file which is a zip file around ~320 MB. This zip file contains the .vmdk file which you can run using VirtualBox or VMware Player. (Virtual PC does not support this format.) After downloading just extract the .vmdk file from the zip archive.
STEP TWO: Go to http://3d2f.com/programs/87-675-winimage-download.shtml and download WinImage. (~724 KB only). Once the setup downloads you can install it on your system without admin rights!
Now after the installation run WinImage. Then go to ‘Convert Virtual Hard Disk image’ option under Disk category as shown in the image below.
