Thanks. In pursuing this suggestion I discovered that I also can't make
new XP VMs. Setup fails with "the disk may be damaged".
The image was created with
qemu-img create xp_new.img 13G
And the setup command is
kvm -cdrom xp/xp_pro.iso -hda xp_new.img -boot d -m 512 -no-acpi -usb
-usbdevice tablet
I had trouble getting winxp installed within kvm too. Stopped with all
sorts of funny errors depending on how I started it (with/without acpi,
...). Don't remember the exact errors, but one disk-related was among them.
Happended only on my AMD box though, on the Intel machine it worked
fine. Both ran a quite simliar setup (Fedora 11). Which made me
suspect hardware problems. Tried to upgrade the BIOS -> works fine now.
HTH,
