[Qemu-devel] WinXP running on QEmu 0.6.1

Hello,

I installed XP on a qcow image. Installation went fine.
The installation reboots 2 times, then I am at the destop.
If I reboot the emulator, I get:

A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

This seems to happen for both raw and qcow images.

I tried running my old win2k image on 0.6.1 and it did the same.

Now it doesnt boot in 0.6.0.

I have screenshots here:

The desktop on the first boot after install:

The error I get after rebooting from that point:

	Me, too.  But I think XP's problem.  The first, I installed
	it with NTFS *quick* format, and contacted this problem like
	you.  So I re-insstalled with NTFS *full* format, didn't
	contact this problem.  How did you install XP?

Actually, I did the quick format.

But the issue here is that I have lost a raw image that was just fine 
before 0.6.1. (well, as well as xp being a pos.)

And that partition was formatted with the full format, because You cant 
do a quick format in 2000 pro.

I am re installing xp with the full format right now, and will report 
back with my results.

Ok. This time I did the *full* format. I rebooted after the first boot, 
and it work just fine. I wanted to see if could power it off and on 
again, to make double sure.

I then received the same message that I received before.

Also I notice very slow i/o (not like it's really a big issue, as 
running xp on qemu is as experimental/tempermental as it is.), but i 
didn't notice this type of i/o slowness as in 2000 pro.

I would like to know if there is something I can do to possibly debug 
the issue further.

Thanks in advance,

Are you trying with QEmu 0.6.1 tarball or with the latest CVS?
I had the same problem as you with "stock" 0.6.1 but this morning Fabrice 
committed to CVS a few changes to ide.c and all problems with my disk images 
disappeared.

Hope it helps.
Ciao,
Piero
