[Qemu-devel] [Bug 586175] Re: Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot

Hi Andy

When i look at your w7 partition table output, then there seems to be a
problem with start/end cylinders.

Your first partitions last cylinder is 13, but also the start cylinder
of your second partition is 13. two partitions should not share the same
cylinder/sector! Something seems to be messed up.

I would create a loop device and then use a deep scan with "testdisk" on
that loop device. May be it's possible to correct the wrong entrys in
the partition table.

Cheers Andreas

Bug description:
Hello everyone,

my qemu doesn't boot any Windows XP/2003 installations if I try to boot the 
image.
If I boot the install cd first, it's boot manager counts down and triggers the 
boot on it's own. That's kinda stupid.

I'm using libvirt, but even by a simple
> qemu-kvm -drive file=image.img,media=disk,if=ide,boot=on
it won't boot. Qemu hangs at the message "Booting from Hard Disk..."

I'm using qemu-kvm-0.12.4 with SeaBIOS 0.5.1 on Gentoo (No-Multilib and AMD64). 
It's a server, that means I'm using VNC as the primary graphic output but i 
don't think it should be an issue.
