How do I install a certain program stuff on a linux?

(While using a Linux interface) I need to get a program, that enables me to run Windows XP, while running Linux at the same time. By that i mean, having the windows xp interface with the little green start menu at the corner, on one whole side of the Linux 3D cube. (or at least in a popup window.). I've seen that it is possible to run both like this.





At the moment, I have Windows installed on the first partition of my laptop, then a swap so that I can choose which OS to boot into, then the Linux Ubuntu OS on the second half. I find it quite difficult to work with only half a computer at one time.


I see all of these other videos on youtube that show simultaneously, both Linux, and Windows on one face of the cube. go ahead, just look at it yourself.


I did research, but the more I learned, the more sea of conflicting information keep popping up. Theres no consistency.I am decently literate in Windows, and I was luckily able to install Linux once. This is my last hope. help





suggestions?

Guess you're talking about this video:

Looks good.





You won't be able to run Windows on WINE. You can only run most Windows programs on it, but not Windows itself. What you're looking for is an emulator--a program that let you install Linux (or other operative system) on a virtual environment and run it from there. A good choice is QEMU:

And here's the "how to" for installing Linux on Windows via QEMU:

You can also do it the other way around and run Windows on Linux via QEMU, but since you say that you were lucky to install Linux once, I recommend you to keep Windows as your primary operative system until you become more experienced with Linux.
Reply:It sounds like what you're looking for is an emulator to allow you to run Windows on a virtual PC inside of Linux. The most popular software for this is called WINE. You can read up on it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28sof...
