Installing a New Guest Operating System

With the new Virtual Machine container created, the next step will be to install the
new Guest operating system into the VM. To install a new operating system on the
RocIT Defender:

1. Boot the computer into the ViSoS Authenticator and login. The VRE will load

and will present the user with a VM Selection dialog box to choose which VM
to launch. In the sample below, it shows the RocIT Defender and a Windows
7 VM which is ready to have its OS installed.

Insert the operating system installation disc into the disc drive and wait for it to spin
up, and then click on the new VM option (eg. - Windows 7 in the image above) and
then click on <OK>.

The system will then boot to the operating system installation disc. In this example,
the next screen would then show the message “Windows is loading files”. Follow the
usual prompts and setup instructions (eg. - read and agree to the EULA, choose
setup options and installation type, etc.), and proceed with completing the
installation and activation of the new operating system.

Once the installation is complete, the new OS will operate and function as normal. It
can then be customized and run through configuration options, and have
applications installed within it. With multiple OS’s on the RocIT Defender drive,
when closing or shutting down the new OS, the user will have the option to launch
the OS, or shut down the drive and power off the computer completely.

Attaching USB Devices and Printers

When attaching USB devices, such as a printer, Windows will not necessarily
recognize the new device right away. Within a guest operating system, USB devices
need to first be activated with a VRE USB controller. To accomplish this, use the VRE
taskbar menu at the bottom of the screen. Click on “Devices” menu, then hover over
