trying to install windows xp pro

the installation goes just fine but when I try to run the vm I get

   Booting from hard disk
   a disk read error occurred

I started with virt-manager, and got the above error messages.

then I found some potential fixes using the command line:

Here's the command lines I tried:

   sudo kvm -m 512 -cdrom /dev/cdrom1 -boot d 
/var/lib/libvirt/images/windoze.img

   sudo kvm -m 512 -cdrom /dev/cdrom1 -boot c 
/var/lib/libvirt/images/windoze.img

That didn't work either.

There's a bug filed against this problem with the EXCEEDINGLY UNHELPFUL advice 
to use the qemu command line to run things, without any sort of example of what 
those commands should look like.

Help ?

Thanks,

Brian


Hi,
There is aqemu. It is gui for qemu and it is really user friendly.
