Ceres
Original Vista Home Premium that came pre-installed on Jupiter. Virtual machine created from a Norton Ghost back up taken before I converted Jupiter into a multi-boot computer. Located on Drive M.
Titania
Windows 98 on Gails Laptop. This was installed to enable networked games of Microsoft Hearts to be played.
Theia
Windows XP with service pack 3. This is a full blown computer with lots of software installed. It was created by taking a Norton Ghost backup of the operating system just prior to wiping the hard drive clean and starting a new installation from scratch. At the time we were experiencing internet connection problems and it was hoped a fresh installation might solve the matter. It later turned out that the firmware in the router needed to be updated and so there was nothing wrong with the original installation which was then converted into a virtual machine from the Norton Ghost backup. This is located on Earth Drive D.
