How to Install VMware player and BackTrack 5 in VMWare – Step by Step Guide with Screen Shots!
You just need two things; BackTrack OS and VMware Player.
You can Download these OS from Below.
What is VMware?
VMware Workstation transforms the way technical professionals develop, test, demonstrate and deploy software by running multiple x86-based operating systems simultaneously on the same PC. Built on 15 years of virtualization excellence and winner of more than 50 industry awards, VMware Workstation takes desktop virtualization to the next level by giving users an unmatched operating system support, rich user experience and incredible performance.
Although there are other virtual machines, I recommend VMware Player is free and is compatible with Windows. There is also a paid version called VMware VMware Workstation, which has additional features. But all we need is available in VMware Player. The process is almost the same in either version.
