Reply-To: Patrick Ale , qemu-devel@nongnu.org List-Id: qemu-devel.nongnu.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Hello Developers :D I want to kick off with saying that I have no sense of programing and am not trying to pretend I can program (I do know how to write hello world in C withouth creating a seg. fault so yay on me) but I think I should adress this thought on this list. On the QEMU site I see that one of the known problems is that Windows 2000 says the partition is full. Now, I had this problem too and tried to restart QEMU 4 times, still the same thing. I created the disk image with: dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3Dw2k.img bs=3D1M count=3D8096 (to create = a 8GB disk). Now, I tried re=EFnstalling Windows 2000 again but now with: dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3Dw2k.img bs=3D4096 count=3D2000000 and now it does work! Could the diskfull problem have anything to do with the specified blocksize for your image?. Further I'd like to state that whenever you have a patch or bugfix which needs extensive testing I'd be more than happy to help testing out and stuff. Cheers, Keep up the good work. Patrick
