Reply-To: Hetz Ben Hamo , 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 Hi, Today I installed NT 4 server and XP Pro. In both cases I used new virtual disk partitions (4GB, and 5GB respectivly).. As both OS's have 2 stages install, both run the first stage without any problem (both of them were booted from their original CDs), however, upon rebooting to the 2nd stage I had problems.. (on XP I had the problem only after quitting qemu and restarting it).. In NT 4 - after starting qemu (after finishing first stage install) it refused to reboot. in XP Pro - after restarting qemu (after fully finishing installing XP Pro) it says that the NTLDR is missing.. in both cases, the only way to bypass this problem is by using the -hdachs parameter.. Why? what has changed that broke the normal behavior? how can it be fixed? Thanks, Hetz
