> Summary: Vista w/ CD: diskpart.exe hangs
> 
> Initial Comment:
> Running KVM-69 on an Intel T2500, Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit base system,
> Vista Enterprise 32 bit SP1 guest.  When I run diskpart.exe from a cmd
> shell and I have a virtual cd inserted, the command hangs
> indefinitely.  The rest of the VM remains usable.  Guest started as:
> 
> kvm -hda foo.img -m 512 -net nic,model=e1000 -net user -localtime
> -cdrom WinVista-32.iso
> 
> Example scenario:
> 
> * Start -> Run... (note you'll need to add this to the start menu in
> Vista - right click, properties, customize...)
> * cmd
> * diskpart
> 
> You'll get some output:
> 
> Microsoft DiskPart version 6.0.6001
> Copyright <C> 1999-2007 Microsoft Corporation.
> On computer: <your computer name>
> 
> Then nothing but a blinking cursor.  If you run this without a -cdrom
> option it works.  Also fails using -no-kvm.  Works in VirtualBox OSE
> and Xen.  Seems to be new for Vista, trying the same on XP seems to
> work.
> 
> I ran across this trying to install a system via Ghost, which
> apparently uses this old utility to setup the disk.
