[Qemu-devel] Installing XP - case sensitive file names

[Library Web]

Installing an XP virtual machine -- I'm getting a file not found error
(a '.sif. file), I'm guessing but it looks like setup.exe is looking
for a lowercase file name, while the name lookup is case insensitive
and files on the CD are uppercase.

What's your command line and version? Are you not using an .iso image?

Hi, thanks for replying, this seems to have fixed itself for some odd
reason!  I was able to successfully install XP earlier on today.   I
also didn't notice the forums until ealier on today (they are under
Links on the wiki page and not Message boards) which would have been a
more appropriate place to ask I think.

I'm not sure what caused/fixed this, it was I thought a secure install
with the door behind me locked, so I'm afraid it is going to have to
remain a mystery for now, thanks for your time though :)
