Today I installed Windows 8 in the VMBox virtual environment. We began looking at the differences in Windows 8. We looked briefly at the different command prompts that could be brought up in Windows 8.
I looked further into the issue we saw last week where four of the machines were only showing 80GB of HD space. After seeing that the serial numbers of the HD's were different on these machines, I searched google for the serial number. I found that the drives were indeed only 80GB drives.
I had to reinstall Windows 7 on one machine due to a previous student installing ontop of the current install and had not first wiped the drive. I installed Virtual PC, Virtual PC XP Mode, and VMBox on all the remaining eleven machines. I One machine was not set up with the proper naming structure that was given by the instructor. I changed the computer name and password, and set up the guest account. I made sure all the remaining machines had the guest account set up and had the proper naming structure.
One machine was set asside as if it was not working. I hooked it up to diagnose. It appeared to be missing a hard drive. I was unable to verify this due to the computer cases being locked and we did not have a key.
