| | Re: Opinions Desired... So I downloaded and installed Virtual CloneDrive which was easy enough. Now I'm trying to run Puppy, a Linux distribution. It gives me a directory of the contents of the distribution does does not actually run it. How do I go about enabling Autoplay?

To run linux, you'll need to do that either within a 'Virtual machine' or install it to a separate partition. If you mount the iso image within 'Virtual PC' (a free download from Microsoft) ,or within VMWare, then you can effectively 'boot' from it within the virtual machine, which will install 'puppy linux' to the virtual machine.
