[qubes-users] How to delete a windows VM
I was following the directions on this page: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/hvm/ I was installing windows. Unfortunately, somehow the computer entered sleep mode and when it resumed it would not install. I couldn't find the command to delete the VM. I would recommend adding the command to the windows directions. If you tell someone how to do something, you should tell them how to undo it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Previously, I tried clicking the box (unchecking the option to install grub) and it failed miserably (same problem as before). Now I just need to import my other grub lines and I'll be in good shape. I do recommend changing the install program to allow installing to a partition, or else make a way to reinstall grub (this last part might already be possible from Dom0). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Maybe that wiped out some Xen stuff that was in Qubes' grub setting. Is there a way to write Qubes' grub to a partition instead of the MBR? One of my biggest beefs with Anaconda is that it just overwrites your MBR and doesn't ask you where you want it. I would prefer to install any distro's grub to a partition and chainload it, that way, booting another linux distribution and updating a kernel doesn't wipe out any established boot settings. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
