[Qemu-devel] Windows NT 4 Server cannot install in QEMU 0.6.0

[Mike Swanson]

I tried installing it, but the problem that I encounter is that NT
cannot find a hard disk. If there's a way to find out more information
"behind the scenes", I'll be happy to help so tell me. :)

Bye,
MIke

I posted patches some time ago that fix this.  They have made it
into the CVS version I believe, so upgrading would probably make
all well.

Thank you. I'll try the CVS version.

It's not working... I didn't apply the patch file since WinNT4 seemed
to start installing fine (eg, detected the hard disk). But after the
first reboot, there is this error message:

Disk I/O Error: Status = 00000C00
NTLDR: Fatal Error 3072 reading BOOT.INI

Should I still install the patch available here?

I suspect that those are the patches that I wrote for NT4.  If so
I believe that they are already applied in CVS.

I'm afraid I don't have time or the inclination to try debugging
qemu at the moment, so I can't provide further guidance.

Actually.. I found a work a round to that problem. Apparently, it only
happens when you select the partition to be formatted as NTFS during
setup. The problem does not arise when selecting FAT.

Interesting,

There is many people with this problem since Ben NT patch fix :
http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/qemu/qemu/hw/ide.c.diff?r1=1.26&r2=1.27

I tried (and others) successfully for w2k removing CVS line 1875 in
ide.c. Maybe you can try it with windows NT/NTFS and give us the result
here ?

Bye.

Huh.  I'll keep that in mind for the next time I try out qemu
with NT4.  Thanks for the tip.

I use QEMU primarily to run Windows NT under Windows 2K. I believe Ben's NT 
patch was included in CVS as of 2004-10-09. I always select NTFS when 
installing Windows NT. I found that the -hdachs parameter is required to run 
QEMU after Windows NT has been installed. For a 1GB image I use "-hdachs 
2031,16,63" and for a 2GB image I use "-hdachs 4063,16,63".
