Hello,

this email is just for the record. I have a Windows 2000 image that was 
created under Windows XP with Qemumanager40. Today I installed Ubuntu 
7.10 and I thought I could just copy the file over and everything would 
work. But the image did not start at first, I always got a blue screen 
at the boot up. After some hours of trying I found out the the BIOS file 
on Linux was only 64KB large and the BIOS file on Windows 128KB. After I 
copied the file from Windows to Linux I was able to use the w2k image 
under Linux. I didn't find anything about this problem here or somewhere 
else, I'm not sure what is going on. But I hope this email may helps 
someone else...

Best Regards,
Markus Schulz
