They show the same effect. When I reported the problem, I had no test result for 32 bit, now I have one. Native builds on Windows are terribly slow and take a lot of time... Summary: Neither 32 nor 64 bit qemu system emulation on Windows hosts can read hard disk images with this patch applied. It's sufficient to test any image and see whether the BIOS detects the hard disk. Stefan
