A workaround for this seems to be to use the original bios-files from the qemu tarball. Perhaps the version of the bios-files in the ubuntu repos are wrong?
Link: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-0.9.0-i386.tar.gz Possible solution (works for me): 1. Download the binary tarball from the link above and extract it 2. Create a harddiskimage with: qemu-img create -f raw win2k.img 8G 3. Start QEMU with the original BIOS-Files: qemu -hda win2k.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d -win2k-hack -localtime -L /home/folderwithbiosfiles 4. Beginn installation and format the selected Partition with NTFS 5. Installation works now without errors Can someone confirm this? -- [gutsy] qemu - installing windows 2000 fails after formatting with ntfs and raw-img-file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157188 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
