Does qemu support boot XP from Linux?
I use Debian Linux.
apt-get install qemu
...
qemu -m 256 -snapshot -hda /dev/hda
grub messages
Choose XP
Black screen...

I suppose WinXP does not like to be booted in a completly different
machine (copy-protection, drivers bound to the system). when trying to
boot a disc in qemu it is equal to taking the physical disc to a
completly different physical pc. If I remember corectly there are some
guides (from Microsoft) on migrating WinXP to a new host, but it's not
as easy as migrating linux for example. Different hardware profiles are
an option I suppose.
With regards,
Jan

I have heard that making a new, blank "Hardware Profile" works,
however I have neither tried it nor do I know the exact instructions
to do so.

use "sysprep". Google for instructions. It's not always working...
